CAD & Digital Manufacturing
We create a clean CAD file from your documents – as a STEP model for 3D components, with an STL file for 3D printing if required. Before handover, we check the geometry and the agreed dimensions.
For contours, templates and simple individual parts – no technical drawing needed.
We digitise flat shapes from a photo, sketch or template – for laser cutting, cutting, milling or plotting.
e.g. a template, a gasket contour, an insert with its counterpart and joint
We reconstruct an existing component as a CAD model from photos and dimensions – or design a simple part to your specifications.
e.g. a holder, clip, cover, adapter or a simple spare part that is no longer available, for non-critical applications
Already have a file? We review it and make changes as far as is technically feasible.
e.g. moving a hole, changing a dimension, adding to a contour
Not every part needs the same data basis. What matters is what has to fit later.
photos + a few dimensions
For simple, non-critical components. You send photos and a few dimensions. We use the measured dimensions directly; the rest of the shape is derived from your photos and documents.
with an individual measurement drawing
For components that have to fit or perform a specific function. You receive an individual measurement drawing and measure exactly the points that matter.
Both routes lead to a clean CAD file. They differ in the data basis, not in the care taken. We recommend the right route after the free feasibility check – you don’t have to choose yourself. If it turns out that an important dimension cannot be determined reliably from photos, we suggest Precision.
You don’t need to create a technical drawing or know the file format.
Briefly describe what you need and what it is for.
After your initial no-obligation enquiry and our first review, we can provide a personal upload link for your photos, sketches or files.
We check whether your project is suitable, whether Quick or Precision fits and whether any information is missing. If necessary, you receive brief measuring instructions or an individual measurement drawing.
You receive a binding quotation. Chargeable work only begins once you have accepted it.
We create the CAD file and check it for clean geometry and the agreed dimensions.
You receive a draft with an inspection report for your approval. We then provide your files via your personal link.
We check the CAD files we create for clean geometry and the agreed dimensions.
Contours, templates and simple individual parts such as holders, adapters, covers or simple spare parts are well suited.
Not every order is suitable for this service. We do not accept safety-critical components, components requiring approval or legally problematic components, for example:
We do not provide strength, FEM or CE certification. Approval for manufacture is not part of our service.
Photos of the part or your template, a short description of its intended use and – depending on the order – a few dimensions or the dimensions from a measurement drawing that we send you. You don’t need a technical drawing.
With Quick, photos and a few dimensions are enough; the rest of the shape is derived from the photos. With Precision, you use an individual measurement drawing to measure exactly the points that have to fit. In the inspection report, every important dimension is marked as measured, derived from photos or assumed. We recommend the right route after the check.
For 3D parts, a STEP file as the CAD model, with an additional STL file for 3D printing if required. For contours, a DXF file, SVG or PDF on request. In addition, an inspection report as a PDF. Whether a part can be printed depends on factors such as the process, material and printer. We do not assess this.
No. We focus on simple individual parts. We do not take on complex freeform surfaces, assemblies or safety-critical parts. Whether your part is suitable is clarified in the free feasibility check.
No. We check the file for clean geometry and the agreed dimensions. We do not assess material, strength or suitability for your intended use.
Yes, after review. Send us your DXF or STEP file and describe the change. We will tell you whether and how it can be done.
No. We supply CAD and STL files. You can have the part printed yourself or by a service provider.
After your initial no-obligation enquiry and our first review, we can provide a personal upload link for your documents. We provide the finished files to you the same way.
