Turning legacy engineering information into usable modern data

Scan Model Make helps organisations turn incomplete, outdated or missing engineering information into usable modern data.

We support legacy drawings, reverse engineering, 3D scanning and scan-to-CAD, with technical outputs for manufacture, procurement, maintenance and redesign.

Especially relevant to rail, heritage and specialist engineering projects.

Core Services

Scan Model Make provides practical engineering support across reverse engineering, 3D scanning, CAD modelling, legacy drawings, parts obsolescence, and product development.

Each service focuses on turning existing parts, incomplete information, or engineering requirements into clear, usable outputs that support real-world projects.

Select a service to see how each approach is applied across rail, heritage, and specialist engineering work.

Reverse Engineering

Rebuild missing, incomplete, or outdated engineering information into accurate CAD models and usable outputs.

3D Scanning

Capture existing parts, assemblies, and complex geometry as accurate digital data for engineering use.

CAD Modelling

Turn legacy drawings, historic records, and archived information into clear, usable CAD and engineering data.

Legacy Drawings

Interpret incomplete, outdated or unclear drawing packs and turn them into usable engineering information.

Parts Obsolescence

Support obsolete and unavailable parts through digital capture, CAD modelling, and replacement-part development.

Product Development

Develop and refine components and assemblies into practical, manufacturable engineering solutions.

Core Sectors

Scan Model Make supports projects across rail, heritage rail, and specialist engineering, where accurate information, legacy data, and existing components need to be understood, developed, or brought into modern workflows.

Each sector presents different challenges, but the underlying approach remains focused on practical engineering outcomes.

Explore each sector to see how these services are applied to real engineering problems and projects.

RAIL

Rail projects often involve legacy assets, incomplete documentation, obsolete components and the need to keep equipment serviceable over long operational lifecycles. Scan Model Make helps turn difficult source information into usable engineering data for maintenance, replacement, upgrade and technical understanding.

HERITAGE RAIL

Heritage engineering work often depends on recovering information from old drawings, worn parts, surviving components or undocumented modifications. Scan Model Make helps create usable engineering outputs that support restoration, preservation, remanufacture and technical continuity.

Specialist Engineering

Specialist engineering projects often involve low-volume parts, bespoke assemblies, older equipment or unusual technical problems where standard documentation is limited or absent. Scan Model Make helps provide the engineering data needed to move projects forward with more confidence.
