Transform physical objects into precise, editable CAD data.
Brainchild offers metrology-grade 3D scanning and reverse engineering services. We don’t just capture a 3D image; we reconstruct the geometry to create fully functional CAD models. This service is essential for reproducing legacy parts where original drawings are lost, or for analyzing wear on industrial components in mining and heavy sectors.
High Precision
We utilize industrial scanners capable of capturing sub-millimetre detail for accurate mechanical reproduction.
Usable Data
We don’t just deliver a mesh (STL). We convert scan data into parametric, solid CAD files (STEP, IGES, SolidWorks) that your engineering team can edit.
Legacy Part Replacement
No Drawings? No Problem. We can scan broken or obsolete components—from vintage car parts to mining equipment—and reverse engineer them back into manufacturing-ready CAD files for reproduction.
Parametric CAD Modelling
Editable Solid Bodies Unlike a simple “3D photo,” we reconstruct your part using proper engineering intent (NURBS surfaces), giving you a clean, history-based model that can be modified in SolidWorks or Fusion 360.
Wear & Deviation Analysis
Quality Control By scanning a used part and overlaying it with the original CAD, we can generate heat maps showing exactly where material has worn away or deformed under load.
Digital Archiving
Virtual Inventory Digitize your physical inventory or art collection. We create precise digital twins of your assets, allowing for virtual libraries and on-demand manufacturing in the future.
