3D Scanning
Real-world parts and objects turned into accurate digital reference geometry.

PartLab · Auckland, New Zealand
3D scanning, reverse engineering and CAD design for one-off parts and interesting problems.
Automotive and motorsport are our speciality, but interesting projects come in all shapes and sizes.
Got a problem, not a CAD file? That's fine.
Most projects start with a couple of photos and a sentence about what needs to happen. You don't need drawings, measurements or CAD files to get in touch.
Not sure whether you need a scan, a CAD model or a prototype? Start with the problem and we'll work out the rest — then tell you what's involved before anything starts.
Tell us about your project“I have these two parts and need to make them fit together.”
What we do
Four things, used together or on their own
Take one service or the whole sequence — plenty of jobs only need a scan, some geometry or a single bracket design.
Reverse Engineering & Geometry Extraction
Extract the profiles, mounting points, interfaces and geometry that actually matter.
More on thisCAD Modelling & Design
Turn scans, measurements, sketches and ideas into practical mechanical designs.
More on thisPrototyping & Functional Fabrication
Test fit, function and ideas with 3D-printed prototypes and functional fabrication.

How it works
Four steps, no surprises
You'll know what's being done, what you get and what it costs before any work starts.
- 01
Show us the problem
Send photos or files and explain what you're trying to achieve. Plain English is fine.
- 02
Agree on the outcome
We work out what's actually required and agree scope, deliverables and price before starting.
- 03
Scan. Design. Build.
Whatever combination of scanning, measurement, CAD, prototyping or fabrication the job needs.
- 04
Get the result
The agreed CAD, geometry, drawing, prototype or part — ready to use.
- Evening & weekend project time
- Auckland mobile scanning
- One-off jobs welcome
- Practical job-based pricing
- No result, no pay
No result, no pay: we agree what success looks like before starting. If we can't deliver the agreed outcome, you don't pay for work that hasn't delivered it.
