Custom 3D Design Capabilities for Charlotte Fabrication

Our 3D design excels in custom fabrication workflows, creating models that account for material properties, machining constraints, and assembly features.

  • Concept to CAD: From hand sketches or descriptions, we build parametric 3D models with precise dimensions for Charlotte’s motorsports teams needing aerodynamic parts.
  • Reverse Engineering: Scan existing components and redesign for custom improvements, ideal for upgrading legacy machinery in local manufacturing.
  • Optimization for Production: Adjust designs for 3D printing supports, wall thicknesses, and tolerances down to 0.04 mm where feasible, ensuring fabricatability without excess material waste.

Each project starts with your input, refined through iterations to match fabrication goals. Zagnat handles complex geometries that standard tools struggle with.
