From Napkin Sketches to Production-Ready Files. Do you have a 2D drawing, a conceptual idea, or just a set of technical dimensions? My team and I specialize in bridging the gap between Abstract Concepts and Functional Hardware. What makes us different? Concept Transformation: We convert 2D images or numerical data into precision 3D models in SolidWorks and Blender. Production-First Mindset: We don't just create "pretty pictures." We design for DFM (Design for Manufacturing) to ensure your parts can be CNC machined, injection molded, or 3D printed without errors. Physical Validation: Based in Shanghai, we utilize our in-house fleet of Bambu Lab printers (X1C, P1S, A1) to test every tolerance and fitment before we hand over the final files. Our Expertise Includes: Mechanical Parts: Engineering for plastic and steel consumer goods. Complex Geometry: Voronoi structures, lattice optimization, and generative design. Technical Surfacing: Converting artistic references into production-ready geometry. Let’s turn your data and sketches into tangible, high-quality products.
