Reverse engineeringA discontinued bracket, remade as a batch
A Sri Lankan engineering consultancy — reverse engineering, 3D scanning, 3D printing, CAD design, laser cutting and PLC automation, serving Colombo and island-wide.
Want to design a machine? Automate one? Need a CAD file for a part that doesn't have one? A part that failed, or a process still done by hand? You don't need a drawing or a file to start.
We work out which route actually solves it — automate, scan, redesign, print or cut — and come back with the approach, a fixed price and a lead time.
Parts, systems or CAD files, delivered island-wide and commissioned on site where the job needs it. The model stays on file, so a repeat order is a reprint.
Process, per service
A genuinely separate service from the others here — it starts on your factory floor, not on a bench.
What the process does now, where it stops, and what it costs when it stops.
What's available to spend, agreed before any hardware is specified — the platform and panel design that follow are built to fit it, not the other way round.
PLC, HMI, servo motors, sensors and the wiring schedule — chosen for the platform already on site, or specified fresh for the job.
Ladder logic written for the platform already on site or specified for the job.
Mitsubishi · Omron · Delta · Siemens · other major platforms
Built and wired to the design before anything goes near your equipment.
On site, on your equipment.
The operators who run it are trained on it before we leave.
Turns a physical object into measured digital geometry. On its own it produces a mesh — a mesh is not yet an editable CAD model.
Matt spray applied to shiny, dark or transparent surfaces; reference markers placed where the geometry needs them.
Captured on the bench or on site, as a point cloud, using industrial-grade equipment.
20 µm accuracy
Multiple scan passes are registered together into one complete dataset.
Noise is removed and holes are closed until the mesh is watertight.
STL · OBJ
A mesh is enough for printing, archiving or inspection. An editable model with real features and tolerances is a separate step — reverse engineering, not scanning.
From an idea, a sketch or a file, to a finished printed part.
A hand sketch, a 2D drawing, a photograph of the part, or a model you already have.
Modelled from scratch where none exists, or your file checked and repaired until it is genuinely printable.
FDM or SLA, then the material picked for the load, the heat and the finish the part has to survive.
Orientation, wall thickness, infill and support strategy set for strength, not only for speed.
One-off, small batch, or a repeat production run.
Support removal, wash and cure for SLA parts, then sanding, painting or assembly where the job needs it.
Measured against the model, then delivered island-wide.
Starts with the physical part, however damaged, and ends with a manufactured replacement.
The part is scanned, and hand-measured wherever a datum matters more than a surface.
To 0.02 mm
The scan is oriented to real reference planes and axes, not whatever angle it was captured at.
Features are rebuilt parametrically in SolidWorks from the scan — not traced over the mesh as a fixed shape.
SolidWorks
Cracks, worn faces and broken corners are rebuilt to the geometry the part had when it was new.
The rebuilt model is overlaid on the captured scan and checked point by point, so any drift from the real geometry is caught and corrected before the model is treated as finished.
Checked against the mating parts and the assembly it belongs to, before anything is manufactured.
3D printed, laser cut, or supplied as STEP, STL and IGES for your own manufacturer.
STEP · STL · IGES
From a brief — a sketch, a broken part, or a problem with no drawing yet — to manufacture-ready files.
What the part has to do, what it has to fit, and the loads and environment it works in.
Layout options, sizes and constraints agreed before detail work starts.
Parts and assemblies modelled in SolidWorks, with motion checked wherever things move.
SolidWorks
Geometry adjusted for the process actually being used — printing, laser cutting or machining.
Dimensioned, with tolerances called out where they matter.
A physical part in hand, then the model updated from what it taught us.
Delivered as STEP, IGES, STL, DXF and native SolidWorks files.
STEP · IGES · STL · DXF
From artwork or a drawing to a cut, engraved and finished piece.
DXF, DWG or vector artwork. A raster logo is redrawn first; we can also draw from a sample part.
Which laser suits the job, and whether the thickness is cuttable.
Parts laid out across the sheet to keep material cost down.
Profiles cut to drawing.
Permanent lettering, artwork or part numbers, where the job needs them.
Edges cleaned; bending or fabrication where the part needs it.
Checked against the drawing before collection or delivery.
A specialty, not a sideline

I had some parts 3D printed from this service, and I'm really satisfied with the overall experience. The service was excellent, and the person was very friendly and easy to communicate with. The print quality was also very good, with clean and accurate results. Highly recommended for anyone looking for reliable 3D printing!

I placed a custom order for these mechanical parts and the quality is outstanding. The prints are clean, strong, and the dimensions are exactly as requested. It's clear they take pride in their work. I'm very satisfied with how these turned out.

Very satisfying service and highly recommended for anyone who are searching for 3D printing of broken parts. Specially a considerable load applying hinge like this (equatorial mount telescope tripod) also could manufacture by the help of them, more than the quality we expected. Very much appreciated and thanking you!

Yes — that is most of what we do. Tell us the problem: a process still done by hand, a machine that keeps stopping, a product that only exists as an idea. We work out which of our services actually solves it and come back with the approach, not just a price for a part.
That is most of what we do. Bring the original, even in pieces. We scan it, rebuild it as a CAD model, and manufacture the replacement. The model stays on file, so if you need another one later it is a reprint rather than a fresh job.
Up to 0.02 mm, which is 20 microns, using industrial-grade scanners. That is fine enough for mating faces, bolt patterns and press fits. Tell us which surfaces have to fit and we will tell you honestly whether the process suits the part.
Send STEP, STL or IGES. If you have no file at all, send the part instead. You receive CAD-ready files in the same formats, so the design is yours to take to any manufacturer afterwards.
FDM is stronger, prints larger parts, and costs less per part — the right choice for most functional parts and production runs. SLA is finer and smoother, with sharper detail, but is more brittle and more limited in size. Tell us what the part has to do and we will recommend the process.
A dedicated fibre laser for sheet metal is confirmed for December 2026, adding thicker material and faster cut times to the laser cutting service already running. We also cut and engrave acrylic and wood today. If your job needs metal cut before December 2026, tell us the material and thickness and we will confirm what's possible now.
Yes. We build PLC-based control systems — on Mitsubishi, Omron, Delta and other major platforms — alongside the mechanical work, so the panel and the machine are designed together rather than handed between two contractors.
The workshop is in Siyambalape, roughly forty minutes from Colombo. You can drop parts off and collect them, or we deliver island-wide.
A part, a process, or just an idea. Tell us the situation and we will tell you the engineering route to solving it — honestly, even if that route isn't us.
