Creative GOAT

Manufacturing and Fabrication

Measure, Reverse-Design and Document Parts and Tooling

When a physical part, tool, fixture or equipment interface exists but dependable CAD or drawings do not, Creative GOAT captures the relevant visible geometry and develops the models and documentation required for the defined task.

Where it earns its keep

Where 3D scanning pays off in manufacturing

Reverse design

Recreate parts, tooling, and fixtures with no drawings — scan the original and get a clean, manufacturable CAD model.

Equipment and interface capture

Capture visible geometry, mounting features and surrounding interfaces to support reverse modelling, modification or fabrication planning.

Tooling & fixture recovery

Rebuild worn jigs, dies and fixtures to a documented reference geometry before they fail completely.

Manufacturing documentation

Prepare the agreed CAD models, drawings, sections and reference geometry for the downstream task

Deliverables

What you walk away with

01

Registered point cloud & mesh

A measurable digital capture of the part or tool you can return to any time.

02

Manufacturable CAD models

Parametric CAD models prepared for machining, casting or fabrication, to the detail defined in your scope.

03

Reverse-designed geometry

Undocumented parts rebuilt to accurate, tolerance-aware models.

04

Defined handoff package

The models, drawings, sections and reference information defined in the project scope.

The process

How a scan project works

01

On-site scan

We scan your part, tool or fixture on the shop floor and capture its visible geometry at the agreed coverage.

02

Register & process

We stitch the scans into one accurate, measurable point cloud.

03

Model & deliver

We turn the data into the CAD model defined in your project scope.

Why us

Why manufacturers work with Creative GOAT

Creative GOAT supports manufacturing and fabrication projects where the physical asset exists but the dependable information needed to reproduce, modify or document it does not. The starting point may be a worn component, a modified assembly, an obsolete fixture or an existing interface that no longer has a dependable drawing or model.

We capture the relevant visible geometry and develop purpose-built CAD models, drawings and technical information for the required task. Depending on the scope, this may support reverse modelling, replacement-part development, fixture or tooling documentation, equipment modification or fabrication planning.

The capture and modelling approach is selected according to what the information must support next. Critical interfaces, inaccessible features, assumptions and verification requirements are defined within the agreed scope.

Where fabrication is included, Creative GOAT can coordinate and supply one-off or low-volume parts and assemblies from the defined design information. The objective is a clear handoff from the physical asset to the people responsible for design, machining, fabrication or installation.

Still deciding?

Got a part or tool that needs measuring or modelling?

Send us the component or available non-confidential information. We will review the capture, modelling and documentation required for the next step.
