About Project

3D scanning has been essential to restoring parts for classic cars since these replacement parts are no longer manufactured. For the customers who step into driving the classic cars, the problem is not how much they are willing to play, but by which means can they get the old auto parts or remake them.

While money may not be an issue, traditional manufacturing techniques were no longer a viable option. Having read the news about applying 3D printing to repair cars, our client, an old-timer, turned to us for help. An accessory of the dashboard enclosure of the classic car he owned has broken. To fit the enclosure back to the right place, reverse engineering technology came into use.

Solution

• Step 1: Using 3D scanners for this task is proven to save time and money, delivering more accurate results compared to the traditional method.
• Step 2: Scans of the individual parts are then used for reverse engineering, where parts are examined and often modified in order to produce spares.
• Step 3: Once the accessory for the dashboard enclosure is remodeled in Solidworks, it’s then sent to the FDM 3D printer for production.
• Step 4: Polish the part and assemble it together with the enclosure.
