Digital Asset Creation
Digital asset creation converts physical parts, legacy drawings, and new concepts into controlled CAD data for additive manufacturing review. D2M defines the model, material assumptions, documentation, and production route before the asset is used.
Controlled Digital Assets for Manufacturing
A useful additive manufacturing file needs more than visible geometry. It must capture the functional requirement, material assumptions, process constraints, inspection needs, and record structure required for later use.
D2M develops editable CAD data and supporting documentation so teams can review a part for manufacturability, quality control, and production readiness before it enters a digital inventory or additive manufacturing workflow.
Reverse Engineering and Legacy Part Data
For parts without reliable CAD data, D2M uses 3D scanning and engineering review to capture geometry, rebuild the model, and define where assumptions, tolerances, and material requirements must be confirmed.
DfAM Review
Where additive manufacturing is a suitable route, the model can be reviewed for orientation, support strategy, material use, inspection access, and documentation. Changes are made against the application requirement, not because additive manufacturing is assumed to be the preferred process.
Our methodology
Requirements Definition and Data Capture
D2M defines the component function, available source data, critical dimensions, material assumptions, and intended production route before capture or modeling begins.
3D Model Generation
Engineers build an editable CAD model from scan data, drawings, or concept inputs, then document the assumptions that need confirmation before production use.
Manufacturability Review
The model is reviewed against the selected or candidate manufacturing process, including geometry, orientation, support strategy, tolerances, and inspection access.
Technical Data Package
D2M delivers the agreed CAD files and supporting records, including drawings, material notes, process assumptions, and any validation or review outputs completed in scope.
