Custom CAD and scan-to-model service
Use one intake-to-delivery workflow for customers who need a usable model from incomplete drawings, photographs or a physical part.

TECHNICAL NOTES///
Use one intake-to-delivery workflow for customers who need a usable model from incomplete drawings, photographs or a physical part.
GOALRun the first test described in this guide and record the result for custom cad and scan-to-model service.
EQUIPMENT
- Scanner / mesh workflow
- Representative test model
- Measurement or inspection method
STEPS
- Collect the intended use, required interfaces, source ownership and preferred deliverable formats.
- Classify each feature as measured, scanned, supplied or inferred.
- Build the model around functional datums, then review uncertain features with the customer.
- Deliver the approved revision with units, checked dimensions and an assumptions list; retain a clear change history.
TROUBLESHOOTING
- Do not promise manufacturing readiness from photographs alone. Define whether native parametric modeling, drawings and fit trials are included in the scope.
THINGS TO WATCH FOR
Do not promise manufacturing readiness from photographs alone. Define whether native parametric modeling, drawings and fit trials are included in the scope.
RESULTThe customer can distinguish verified geometry from assumptions and use the delivered file in the intended downstream tool.
DEVELOPMENT HISTORY///
Imported as an independent manifest record; public copy keeps uncertainty visible.
SPECIFICATION///
RELEASED MATERIAL///
The customer can distinguish verified geometry from assumptions and use the delivered file in the intended downstream tool.
The record keeps what is known at this revision. Unfinished tests stay unfinished here.
