Who's measuring

I'm not here to tell you about your car.
I'm here to measure it.

I came up as a union carpenter and layout foreman on commercial jobsites, then moved into Virtual Design & Construction. That means laser scanners, point clouds and models that have to match the real thing to the millimeter, or someone pays for it.

DVDSN brings that same process to cars. I capture the geometry, rebuild it as clean CAD, and print the plastic pieces that are cracked, discontinued or just not made the way you want.

Services

Real cars. Real parts. Real files.

A1

Part & vehicle scanning

High-detail scans of trim, interiors, consoles, bays and body panels. On-site around Seattle / Tacoma, or mail the part in.

  • Interior trim
  • Consoles & bezels
  • Engine-bay fitment
  • Body references
A2

Reverse-engineered CAD

Scans rebuilt as solids you can edit: fix the warp, thicken the weak spot, add mounting tabs, change the design.

  • STEP for Fusion / SolidWorks
  • Design upgrades
  • Fitment checks
A3

Printed plastic parts

Replacement and upgraded parts printed in engineering plastics, finished and test-fit before they ship.

  • Clips, covers, bezels
  • Organizers & mounts
  • Gauge pods, trim

Plastic, non-safety parts only. No brakes, steering, suspension, restraints or load-bearing parts. Ever.

A4

Scan & print files

Prefer to print it yourself? Buy the file. Clean meshes, print-ready orientations, and multi-color 3MF where it helps.

  • STL · 3MF · STEP
  • OBJ · PLY
  • Made to order
A5

Need it in metal?

Brackets, mounts, panels, anything that has to be steel or aluminum. I'll scan your part and build a fab-ready model: STEP for machining, flat DXF for laser, plasma or waterjet. Take it to a fabricator near you, or I can plug you in with my fab partners.

  • Fab-ready STEP
  • Flat patterns (DXF)
  • Fit checked against the scan
  • Local shop or my partners

Mail-in

Ship it in. Get it back, plus the file.

Not around Seattle / Tacoma? Your part doesn't need you to be. Box it up, I scan and model it, and your original ships back with the files or a new printed part.

  1. 01

    Free consult

    Start with a free consult. Tell me the year, make, model and the part. Photos help.

  2. 02

    Pack & ship

    Your quote comes with the shipping address and packing tips.

  3. 03

    Scan & model

    The part gets scanned, cleaned and rebuilt as CAD if you ordered it.

  4. 04

    Back to you

    Your original part ships home with your files, or with the new printed part.

Scanning works on almost anything that fits in a box. Printed replacements are plastic, non-safety parts only. Shipping details and costs come with your quote.

Process

Four passes. No guessing.

  1. 01

    Scan

    Capture the part or vehicle with reference targets so scale is locked in.

  2. 02

    Clean

    Align, de-noise and fill the mesh. Nothing gets modeled off a bad scan.

  3. 03

    Model

    Rebuild as solid CAD, then apply your upgrades and fitment fixes.

  4. 04

    Make

    Print, finish and test-fit. Or hand off the files and you print it.

Shops · with 3DRCS

Will the new lift fit?

Find out before you buy it. My partner company, 3DRCS – Reality Capture Services, scans your shop and turns it into a measured floor plan and model. From there we test layouts for lifts, racking and storage, and check bays, ceiling height, columns and doors before anything gets bolted down.

  • Laser scan of the existing shop
  • Measured floor plan & 3D model
  • Lift, racking & storage layouts
  • Clearance checks: ceiling, columns, doors

Bigger than a shop? 3DRCS handles buildings, sites and facilities too: laser scanning, drone capture, Matterport 360° tours and scan-to-BIM.

From the model

Drawn up like real buildings.

Every diorama starts as a model built the way a real building would be: walls, slab, roof, signage, all at true 1:64.

Shaded 3D model view of Pop's Motors, a 1:64 two-bay garage with a red Japanese sign, rooftop AC units, a graffiti side wall and a vending machine out front.
