Start a project 3D design & reverse engineering · Durban, KZN
SERVICE 04CAD design and reverse-engineering support for customers who have an idea, drawing, photograph, set of measurements or physical sample—but not yet a production-ready 3D file.
Complete project support
PRIMUS 3D combines design thinking, material selection, additive manufacturing and finishing. The result is a considered part or product made for its intended purpose—not an unfinished print that still needs to be resolved.
We begin with the part or product's purpose, interfaces, critical dimensions and operating conditions. A physical sample, sketch, drawing, reference image or measurements can provide the starting point.
The geometry is recreated or developed as a controlled digital model. Fit, wall thickness, fastening, clearances and the intended manufacturing process are considered as part of the design—not left until after printing.
Where required, a physical prototype can be manufactured and checked before the final part or short run is approved. Findings are used to refine dimensions, strength, material choice and assembly.
Typical applications
Every project is assessed individually. Geometry, finish, operating environment, quantity and material requirements guide the manufacturing route.
Frequently asked
Often, yes. A usable sample, clear photographs, measurements and information about the part's purpose can provide the starting point. We first assess whether the geometry and application are suitable.
File ownership and handover are agreed in the quotation because requirements differ between a design-only project and a complete design-and-manufacture service.
Yes, where practical. Weak areas, fastening, wall thickness or fit can be revised instead of automatically copying a known failure, subject to the surrounding assembly and operating conditions.
Bring the original part where possible, plus the item it fits into or clear installation photographs. Include critical dimensions and information about heat, load, chemicals, movement and outdoor exposure.
