Case Study: Conzept Solutions GmbH replaces a hard-to-find critical extender wheel and restores production with 3D Systems' Geomagic Design X

Conzept Solutions Replaces a Hard to Find Part Using Geomagic Design X

Conzept Solutions GmbH, a German engineering and 3D scanning firm founded in 1988, specializes in reverse engineering complex cast parts and molds. Their process depended on a 1960s cutting machine whose critical replaceable component—the extender wheel—was discontinued by the manufacturer, and no substitute part or modern equipment met their needs.

Using precise scan data and Geomagic Design X, Conzept captured the part’s shape and design intent and generated a native CAD model (with a full feature history) suitable for manufacturing. The new part was produced quickly, saving time and resources, allowing Conzept to maintain uninterrupted service for customers and expand its reverse-engineering offerings.
