Capture the vehicle as built
3D scanning and reverse engineering give an accurate model of the chassis or structure, including any changes made since the original drawings.
Design the new systems around it
Pipe and cable routes, brackets and structural modifications are designed in the model, checked for space and drawn for the workshop.
Typical work
- Electric drive conversions and retrofits
- Pipe and cable routing
- Brackets, frames and structural modifications
- Workshop and fabrication drawings
