Help From The Floor

Engineering Support

Bring us the problem, not a finished CAD file. We help with material choice, design-for-printing and reverse engineering.

  • DFM (Design for Manufacturing)
  • Material recommendations
  • Reverse engineering
  • Modelling from photos & measurements
  • STL, OBJ and STEP files
Engineering Support

We have modelled shower-door tracks and wheelie-bin hinges from photos and measurements alone.
