No 3D file? Alexander, 3D artist and engineering modeler at Archam print, makes one. He reconstructs parts from a broken sample, a 3D scan, photos or drawings and delivers the model in two forms: a print-ready STL for our printer and an editable STEP for any manufacturer.
The difference from “scan conversion”: Alexander rebuilds the functional geometry of the part rather than tracing a point cloud. Mounts, holes, fits, clearances and wall thicknesses come out as the designer intended, so the part fits first time.
He scans parts, rebuilds their geometry in CAD and prepares models for printing and manufacturing. He works in Geomagic Design X, Fusion 360 and Blender and scans with a Creality Raptor. He quotes every job himself and replies within an hour.
The price is calculated individually for each project: it depends on the complexity of the part, what you can provide (a sample, scan, photo or drawing) and the accuracy required. The quote is free and work starts only after you confirm.
Modelling starts at 75 ₾. That is the price of a simple part from a scan or measurements, for example a drum pedal component: scanning, CAD and the customer’s logo took an hour and a half. Parts with fits, assemblies and housings are quoted by the hour, usually from one day. Send a photo, scan or drawing on Telegram and you get a price and lead time within an hour. The quote is free and work starts only after you confirm. If we print the part too, modelling and printing go on one order.
A model made by a freelancer often needs rework for the printer: thin walls, overhangs, holes in the mesh. Here the modeler and the printer are in one studio: Alexander designs for printing from the start, and the first print checks the fit. If something does not fit, we fix the model and reprint without arguing about whose fault it is.
Real jobs by Alexander. Each case shows the original part or scan, the rebuilt CAD model and the result.
New lamps are discontinued and every used one is cracked. We measured the original, modelled the lens and mounts and printed it in clear material. The owner now drives without fines for an unlit plate.
Scan, CAD model in Fusion 360 and the customer’s logo. An hour and a half of work, our typical minimum project.
A rental company cracked the housing of a moving head. We scanned the surviving part, rebuilt the ring in CAD, printed it with brass threaded inserts and painted it. The new ring is indistinguishable from the original.
A complex housing with vent grilles and seats for the electronics. Scan, deviation map, parametric model and a test print that fitted first time.
We scanned the chassis and suspension, then designed a plate around suspension travel and mounting points. The part was cut from metal from our STEP file and installed.
A broken platform of a vinyl turntable that cannot be bought anywhere. Scan, geometry reconstruction with deviation control, print. The part fitted the original mounts without rework.
The part did not fit into a single scan. Several scans were aligned into one, the mesh pattern was rebuilt and the missing fragment printed.
From a scan of the toy we built a parametric model that can be scaled and modified, then rendered several variants of it.
We print in Tbilisi and deliver anywhere: Batumi, Kutaisi, Rustavi, Gori, Poti, Zugdidi, Telavi — 2–3 days, from 10 ₾. In Tbilisi a courier brings it next day, and pickup is free. Distance doesn’t change the printing price — the calculator quotes the same for the whole country.
Alexander assesses the job within an hour: price, lead time and what you get. Free and without obligation.
