Who's measuring
I'm not here to tell you about your car.
I'm here to measure it.
I came up as a union carpenter and layout foreman on commercial jobsites, then moved into Virtual Design & Construction. That means laser scanners, point clouds and models that have to match the real thing to the millimeter, or someone pays for it.
DVDSN brings that same process to cars. I capture the geometry, rebuild it as clean CAD, and print the plastic pieces that are cracked, discontinued or just not made the way you want.
Services
Real cars. Real parts. Real files.
Reverse-engineered CAD
Scans rebuilt as solids you can edit: fix the warp, thicken the weak spot, add mounting tabs, change the design.
- STEP for Fusion / SolidWorks
- Design upgrades
- Fitment checks
Printed plastic parts
Replacement and upgraded parts printed in engineering plastics, finished and test-fit before they ship.
- Clips, covers, bezels
- Organizers & mounts
- Gauge pods, trim
Plastic, non-safety parts only. No brakes, steering, suspension, restraints or load-bearing parts. Ever.
Scan & print files
Prefer to print it yourself? Buy the file. Clean meshes, print-ready orientations, and multi-color 3MF where it helps.

The lab · early-client pricing
Custom screens, fit to your dash.
I'm building out a new lane: Raspberry Pi-powered displays, scanned and fit into your dash. Live gauges, OBD-II readouts, a backup camera, whatever you want on a screen, in a bezel that looks like it came that way from the factory.
- Dash scanned, bezel modeled to fit
- Screen + Raspberry Pi built in
- Custom software: gauges, OBD-II, cameras
- Mounted clear of airbags and your sightlines
Early-client discount. I'm growing my portfolio in this work, so the first builds come in under normal pricing. You get a one-off display; I get a project to show.
Mail-in
Ship it in. Get it back, plus the file.
Not around Seattle / Tacoma? Your part doesn't need you to be. Box it up, I scan and model it, and your original ships back with the files or a new printed part.

Scan & model
The part gets scanned, cleaned and rebuilt as CAD if you ordered it.
- 04
Back to you
Your original part ships home with your files, or with the new printed part.
Scanning works on almost anything that fits in a box. Printed replacements are plastic, non-safety parts only. Shipping details and costs come with your quote.
Process
Four passes. No guessing.
- 01
Scan
Capture the part or vehicle with reference targets so scale is locked in.
- 02
Clean
Align, de-noise and fill the mesh. Nothing gets modeled off a bad scan.
- 03
Model
Rebuild as solid CAD, then apply your upgrades and fitment fixes.
- 04
Make
Print, finish and test-fit. Or hand off the files and you print it.

Shops · with 3DRCS
Will the new lift fit?
Find out before you buy it. My partner company, 3DRCS – Reality Capture Services, scans your shop and turns it into a measured floor plan and model. From there we test layouts for lifts, racking and storage, and check bays, ceiling height, columns and doors before anything gets bolted down.
- Laser scan of the existing shop
- Measured floor plan & 3D model
- Lift, racking & storage layouts
- Clearance checks: ceiling, columns, doors
Bigger than a shop? 3DRCS handles buildings, sites and facilities too: laser scanning, drone capture, Matterport 360° tours and scan-to-BIM.
