The first step of the process begins with reviews and approval of the quotation, then we proceed by issuing the Purchase Order (PO) to the client, and after that client releases advance payment to initiate the project.
At step two of our process, we review and modify the 3D model, only if it's needed. After modifications, we share the final 3D model with the client for approval.
Then we proceed with the confirmation of painting details, colors, finishes, or any sticker/branding requirements. After that, we begin the preparation of the Bill of Materials (BOM) execution sheet, incorporating all design and finish specifications; without BOM sheet approval, execution or procurement is not possible.
At the fourth stage, there is the execution of the miniature model-making process using approved 3D files and BOM.
After execution, we begin with the assembly and post-processing (sanding, painting, decals, etc).
The next stage is to send the model for pre-dispatch review to the client for approval. We provide both of the methods for reviews ( online and offline)
The last stage comes with the final dispatch of the completed model. We then collect the feedback and make changes if any. Then comes the closure of the PO upon final approval and delivery, and the remaining payment gets cleared at this stage.
When there is no original CAD data exists - The part is old, custom-made, or the original design files are lost, damaged, or were never created digitally.
When you want to improve a part - You have a part that works but needs design modifications for better performance, new features, or different materials.
When you need a legacy equipment repair or replacement - A critical machine/device is down because a part is broken and is no longer manufactured.
For competitive product analysis - You want to understand how a competitor's product is designed and manufactured to develop your own designs.
When the parts are damaged - A part is too damaged to measure by hand, but 3D scanning can capture its intact geometry to recreate it.
To create a digital twin - You want to preserve the precise design of a part, tool, or even a historical artifact for future reproduction or reference.
Restore legacy parts accurately, even without technical drawings.
Analyze and improve your designs for functionality, durability, and efficiency.
Convert the hand-crafted molds or aging parts into digital models.
Get precise part documentation for government and quality compliance.
Receive nominal CAD models to inspect manufactured parts, detect deviations, and improve overall production accuracy.
Get perfectly fitting molds from any object to minimize prototyping and tooling costs.
Our skilled engineers bring decades of experience in 3D scanning, CAD modeling, and PCB reverse engineering, using advanced metrology tools for an excellent sub-micron accuracy.
From disassembly and 3D scanning to CAD modeling and prototyping, the entire process is handled in-house for better control, quality, and communication throughout the process.
Our process minimizes unnecessary R&D trials by enhancing existing designs, helping clients save significantly on tooling, redesign efforts, and future manufacturing expenses.
We recreate obsolete parts without original drawings - ideal for industries like aerospace, automotive, and heavy machinery that depend on legacy system compatibility and restoration.
We utilize our advanced 3D scanning technologies to capture precise dimensional data of physical components, converting them into accurate CAD models. This service will let us improve brilliantly - component replication, quality verification, and digital archiving when original design documentation is unavailable or outdated.
Our team of engineers will create a model of improvement with a framework for developing, testing, and implementing change, considering existing components' failure points(if they are found). Then, the process of redesigning begins to improve functionality, durability, and manufacturability while maintaining core design intent.
We conduct a detailed surface metrology and computational analysis, and then we evaluate and refine component surfaces to improve technical properties, reduce friction, or improve thermal characteristics. This process ensures the best and reliable performance in demanding operational environments.
We modernize(improve) aging tooling systems by reverse engineering existing molds, dies, and fixtures. Our updated CAD models incorporate the latest manufacturing requirements, extending tool life while ensuring compatibility with modern production equipment and processes.
We systematically identify and eliminate manufacturing defects by conducting a detailed analysis and precision redesign. Our approach resolves production issues while maintaining all functional requirements, resulting in components that satisfy strict quality standards.
We transform legacy(old) manufacturing operations by integrating reverse-engineered component data with advanced production technologies. This service bridges the gap between traditional methods and all the latest industry capabilities, delivering measurable improvements in efficiency and quality.
While our systems are capable of ±0.05 mm accuracy, the final achievable tolerance is project-specific. It is influenced by the part's size, geometric complexity, surface finish, and material.
STEP, IGES and STL
Yes. We specialize in repairing missing surfaces and reverse-modelling damaged areas to original specifications.
Absolutely. From on-site scanning to final validated CAD, iMAC Engineering handles the entire workflow in-house.
