Replacement parts, custom design and engineering drawings

Three ways to start a job. Each one ends with a part you can fit, a CAD model kept on file, and a drawing if you need one.

Replacement parts

For a part that is discontinued, back-ordered or sold only inside a whole assembly. We copy the function and the fit, not the maker's branding.

  • You send

    Photos with a ruler in frame, measurements, the part number, or the broken part itself, dropped off anywhere in the GTA.

  • We model

    The part is redrawn in CAD from measurements, with cracked or worn areas rebuilt to the original shape.

  • We check

    Snap fits, shaft bores and screw holes are test-printed alone before the full part.

  • You get

    The printed part. Repeat orders are reprints from the saved model.

Custom part design

When there is no original to copy. Tell us what the part must hold, fit or survive, and we design it for printing from the start.

  • Input

    A sketch, photos of where it goes, the sizes of the parts it meets, and the load or heat it sees.

  • Design

    A parametric CAD model in millimetres, so a size change is an edit, not a redraw.

  • Prototype

    One or two test prints, often in PLA, to check fit before the final material.

  • Typical jobs

    Mounting brackets, spacers, covers, cable guides, adapters, jigs and fixtures.

Engineering drawings

A dimensioned drawing when the part will be machined or moulded elsewhere, approved by a client, or kept for maintenance records.

Views

Third-angle projection, the North American convention, with sections and details where they help.

Dimensions

Millimetres, a general tolerance in the title block and critical fits called out on the feature.

Hole callouts

Size, count and depth on each hole pattern, with centre lines to the datum edges.

Revisions

A lettered revision in the title block, so everyone works from the same sheet.

Files you receive

Ask for any of these with the part, or on their own. You own the model of the part you paid to have designed.

  • PDF drawing

    The dimensioned sheet, ready to print or send to a machine shop.

    .pdf
  • 3D model

    The solid model, readable by SolidWorks, Fusion, Onshape and FreeCAD.

    .step
  • Print file

    The mesh for anyone who wants to print the part themselves.

    .stl / .3mf
  • Flat profile

    For plates and gaskets that will be laser- or waterjet-cut.
