🇺🇸 Now that's a chassis!

Our 2020 RAM 2500 chassis has been captured in 3D and added to the 3D Tech scan library. 🔥

A proper heavy-duty platform with plenty of room for custom fabrication, accessory development, mounting systems and vehicle modifications.

Having the chassis digitally captured means you can start designing around the real thing — before cutting, welding or making a single bracket.

📐 2020 RAM 2500 chassis scan data now available.

🔥 LC300 — straight into the digital workshop.

The Toyota LandCruiser 300 Series has now been 3D scanned and added to our growing library of accurate vehicle scan data. 📐

Whether you're designing something that bolts on, mounts underneath, or works around the factory structure, having the actual vehicle geometry makes the design process a whole lot easier.

No crawling around underneath with a tape measure.
No guessing what's behind the panel.

Just accurate 3D data to design from.

💻 LC300 scan data now available.

🚤💨 Getting the Throttle Where It Needs to Be

A recent marine project where a vessel had been repowered with a new outboard, but the new setup created an issue with the existing binnacle position and throttle travel.

We designed a custom binnacle extension pod in CAD, creating the precise mounting angle required to reposition the binnacle and allow full throttle operation while maintaining a clean, practical installation.

The finished pod was 3D printed using ASA-CF — a UV-stable, carbon-fibre reinforced material selected for its strength and suitability for an exposed marine environment.

Sometimes, the solution isn’t an off-the-shelf part — it’s designing exactly what the application needs.

📐 Custom CAD design. Engineered to fit. Built to work.

Why is 3D laser scanning becoming the preferred data capture technology in construction? 🏗

Check it out over on YouTube
https://youtu.be/d5USU0BtNd0

In this video, we explore why more construction professionals, surveyors, engineers, and project managers are choosing 3D laser scanning over traditional measurement methods.

Discover how laser scanning dramatically reduces human error, captures millions of accurate data points in minutes, and creates a complete digital record of your site. Unlike traditional methods that rely on templates, assumptions, or selective measurements, 3D laser scanning captures everything, allowing you to revisit the data long after leaving site.

Whether you're working on renovations, as-built documentation, clash detection, BIM workflows, or quality assurance, accurate data is the foundation of successful project delivery.

✅ Reduced human error
✅ Highly accurate and repeatable measurements
✅ Complete site capture with no missed details
✅ Faster fieldwork and increased productivity
✅ Improved collaboration between stakeholders
✅ No reliance on templates or manual interpretation

Watch to learn why 3D laser scanning is quickly becoming the industry standard for modern construction projects.
