3D modelling
We create and optimise 3D and CAD models of parts and components, from concept to production. To learn more, see the Wikipedia article on 3D modelling.

3D modelling is the process of developing a mathematical representation of any surface of an object in 3D, using specialised software. In addition, the result is called a 3D model.
The computer-aided design (CAD) industry is based on 3D technology, essential for creating and developing a product or mechanical component.
What we do in 3D modelling
Advantages of 3D modelling for industry
Today, 3D modelling offers many advantages to industry: closer cost estimation, reliability and safety, competitive advantage and specialised know-how.
Agility
3D technology directly supports product design and the process development cycle, speeding up execution and reducing design errors.
INOVAMIND helps you develop your projects and make them a reality.
Frequently asked questions
Which formats will I receive the model in?
In exchange formats such as STEP, which open in any CAD software, and in STL for printing. In addition, if you need a specific format, tell us before we start.
Can you fix or improve a model I already have?
Yes. We can repair, simplify, adapt to another manufacturing process or complete an existing model.
Do I need to have drawings?
No. We work from ideas, photographs, measurements or the part itself.
Do you produce technical drawings?
Yes, with views, dimensions and tolerances, when manufacturing requires them.
How much does it cost and how long does it take?
It depends on the complexity of the model and the number of revisions. Therefore, we send a proposal with price and deadline.
Do I own the rights to the model?
The model is made for you, from your idea or your part. In addition, we agree on ownership in the proposal.
What type of 3D modelling you need
| Type | What it is | When to choose it |
|---|---|---|
| Parametric CAD | Model built with operations and dimensions that are easy to change | Mechanical parts, products that will evolve, manufacturing |
| Surfaces | Continuous freeform surfaces, with curvature control | Product design, housings, organic shapes |
| Model for 3D printing | Closed model, with thicknesses and tolerances designed for the process | Prototypes and printed parts |
| From scanning | CAD rebuilt over an existing part | Parts without drawings, reproduction (see Reverse engineering) |
From request to final file
What you can send us
Sketches, photographs, 2D drawings, measurements, an existing model that needs fixing, or a scan. In addition, you do not need a finished project: we help define it.
3D modelling designed to be manufactured
A beautiful model that cannot be manufactured is of no use. In addition, we review the design taking the process into account: minimum thicknesses, corners, draft angles, print orientation, supports and assembly tolerances. Finally, it can save time and money on the first parts.
