Common questions

All scanning is performed using a professional handheld metrology-grade 3D scanner capable of up to 0.02mm accuracy. It handles objects ranging from a few millimetres all the way up to two metres. At 60 frames per second, scanning is fast and non-invasive — and accurate enough that reverse engineered components can go straight to manufacture and fit first time.

For objects larger than two metres, such as a complete vehicle, scanning is carried out in multiple passes and merged into a single cohesive model.

Our scanner achieves up to 0.02mm accuracy under normal conditions. In practical terms, this means the scan data is precise enough to produce components that fit correctly the first time, without the need for hand-fitting or adjustment.

Accuracy can be affected by surface finish — highly reflective or transparent surfaces may require preparation before scanning. We'll advise you on this if it applies to your part.

We can scan objects from a few millimetres up to two metres in a single pass. For larger objects — including complete vehicles — we scan in multiple passes and merge the data into a single model.

If you're unsure whether your part falls within scope, send us a photo and description and we'll confirm.

For most jobs, yes — we need physical access to the part to scan it. Parts can be shipped to us or dropped off in Brisbane. For large or fixed objects such as a complete vehicle or installed machinery, we can discuss on-site scanning options.

We operate multiple 3D printers across a range of technologies and build volumes, allowing us to select the most appropriate process for each job. Whether the requirement is high-resolution detail, specific material properties, large part size, or fast turnaround, we have the capability to match the right technology to the application.

This also means we're not limited to a single process — if a job demands it, we can combine approaches to achieve the best outcome.

We use a professional suite of industry-standard software across every stage of the workflow — from scan capture and point cloud processing through to CAD modelling, design validation, and print preparation.

Each stage of the process is handled with tools purpose-built for that task, ensuring accuracy and quality are maintained from the initial scan through to the final deliverable.

We print across a range of engineering-grade materials including PLA, PETG, ABS, and ASA. Material selection depends on the application — factors such as temperature exposure, UV resistance, mechanical load, and finish requirements all influence the choice.

If you have a specific material requirement, include it in your enquiry and we'll confirm whether it's suitable for your application.

Fixed-price quotes are returned within 48 hours for standard enquiries. Complex or multi-stage projects may take a little longer — we'll advise you if this applies.

Turnaround depends on the complexity of the part and the deliverable required. Scan data alone is typically faster than a full parametric CAD model. As a rough guide, an engine-scale component takes around three hours of scan time, with modelling time on top of that depending on complexity.

We'll include a turnaround estimate in your quote so you know what to expect before committing.

We deliver in the format that best suits your downstream use. Common outputs include STEP, IGES, STL, DXF, and PDF for engineering drawings. If you're using a specific CAD package, let us know and we'll confirm compatibility.

No. We accept single-part orders and prototype runs. One part is enough to get started.

For trade clients ordering in volume, pricing can be structured around committed batch quantities. Contact us to discuss the right arrangement for your situation.

That's exactly what we do. If you can get a physical part to us — or in some cases, accurate measurements — we can scan it, model it, and manufacture a replacement. Discontinued, NOS-depleted, or one-off parts are our primary focus.

We machine a broad range of metals and engineering plastics including aluminium alloys, mild and stainless steels, brass, bronze, and common engineering plastics. Material availability is confirmed at quote stage — if your part requires something specific, include that in your enquiry.

Yes. We ship parts anywhere in Australia and internationally. Shipping is quoted separately and included in the final invoice. For digital files and downloads, delivery is electronic — no shipping required.

The store offers verified scan data and production-ready CAD models as direct downloads. Files are added on an ongoing basis as components are scanned and processed through the quality pipeline. Current listings include JDM and classic vehicle components.

If there's a specific part you'd like to see listed, use the contact form to let us know.

Files are licensed for single-entity use. You can use the file internally — for manufacture, reference, or modification — but the file is not licensed for resale, redistribution, or sublicensing to third parties.

If you need a commercial or multi-user licence, contact us to discuss options.

All files in the store have been through our standard quality process — scan capture, post-processing, and verification. STEP files are parametric and suitable for most CAD packages. STL files are suitable for 3D printing directly.

Where applicable, files are supplied with a note on any known limitations or conditions of use.

All work is quoted on a fixed-price basis. Quotes are itemised — scanning, modelling, and manufacture are broken out separately so you can see exactly what you're paying for.

For trade clients with ongoing volume, pricing can be structured around committed batch quantities to reduce per-unit cost. Contact us to discuss.

No. Quotes are provided free of charge with no obligation.

We accept bank transfer (EFT) and major credit cards. Payment terms are confirmed at invoice. For digital store purchases, payment is processed at checkout via standard card payment.

We work with workshops, parts distributors, engineering firms, and individual enthusiasts across Australia and internationally. There's no minimum order — single-part enquiries are welcome alongside trade accounts and batch orders.
