Design & Engineering Support

From an idea to manufacturable product.

3D scanning, CAD design and manufacturing engineering combined into one integrated product development process.

Runplast 3D design and CAD model

Successful manufacturingstarts with the right design.

The success of a plastic component is largely determined by an accurate digital model, correct dimensions and a design suited to the selected manufacturing technology.

We combine 3D scanning, CAD design and manufacturing engineering in a single process to turn existing or completely new concepts into manufacturable products.

Whether the task is digitising an existing component, developing a new design, modifying a product or preparing it for series production, the goal is to create an accurate and production-ready technical foundation.

Runplast CAD design and digital model

From scanning to CAD.Designed with manufacturing in mind.

Digital geometry is more than a visual model. From a manufacturing perspective, it defines the component's dimensions, fits and manufacturability.

SCAN

3D scanning

Digital capture of the geometry of an existing physical component when the original CAD model or technical documentation is unavailable.

The scanned point cloud or mesh provides a geometric reference for further engineering work.

TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
  • Digitising existing components
  • Discontinued spare parts
  • Legacy designs
  • Reverse engineering source data
CAD

3D CAD design

Scanned or newly developed geometry can be converted into an editable, production-ready CAD model.

The model can then serve as the technical foundation for future modifications, prototypes and series production.

TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
  • New product design
  • Modification of existing components
  • Manufacturing documentation
  • Fits and dimensions
DFM

Design for manufacturability

Wall thicknesses, ribs, radii, undercuts, draft directions and tolerances can all be evaluated during the design process.

The objective is a design that can be manufactured consistently, economically and to the required quality.

TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
  • 3D printing
  • Vacuum casting
  • RIM moulding
  • Injection moulding

Only have a physical component?We can digitise and develop it.

Send us a photo or a short description of the existing component. We will assess how 3D scanning can be turned into a usable CAD model and a manufacturable design.

When does engineering supportcreate real value?

Not every project begins with a finished CAD file. Often, the only starting point is an existing component, a prototype or an initial concept.

Combining 3D scanning, CAD design and prototyping makes it possible to turn a physical component or early-stage concept into a production-ready design.

01
Starting point

Only a physical component is available, or the original CAD model no longer exists.

02
Reproduction

A previously manufactured or difficult-to-source component needs to be reproduced.

03
Modification

An existing design needs to be optimised or adapted to a new system.

04
New product

A development concept needs to be turned into a manufacturable design.

05
Series production

A prototype needs further development for manufacturability and production stability.

06
Technology selection

It is unclear which manufacturing process best suits the design.

From a physical componentto a production-ready design.

013D scanning

The existing geometry becomes digital source data.

02CAD design

An editable, production-ready model is created.

03Prototype & validation

Geometry, fit and function can be verified physically.

04Production preparation

The design is adapted to the selected technology and series-production requirements.

Already have a CAD model?Let's review it from a manufacturing perspective.

We can assess the design's manufacturability based on the selected technology, material, fits and required quantity.

Let's discuss your project

We do not simply deliver a CAD file.We design with manufacturing in mind.

The real value of a design is not how good it looks in CAD, but whether it can be manufactured economically and to the required quality.

3D scanning, CAD design, prototyping and manufacturing experience can all be combined into one integrated development process.

This helps reduce the risk of later modifications, rework and manufacturing problems.
