Case Study: Kindig‑It Design achieves faster, higher‑quality custom cars with 3D Systems

Kindig-It Design Builds Cooler Cars Faster with Geomagic Design X and FARO Scanner

Kindig‑It Design in Salt Lake City is a high‑end custom automotive shop that has been creating restomods and bespoke vehicle components since 1999. Faced with complex surfaces, tight fitment tolerances and long lead times, the team needed to deliver more intricate, one‑off parts faster and get them right the first time without costly trial‑and‑error or paint damage.

Using the FARO Design ScanArm with Geomagic Design X for scan‑to‑CAD and Geomagic Control X for inspection, Kindig‑It reverse‑engineers and models free‑form parts, 3D prints prototypes, and verifies finished castings. The integrated workflow expanded creative freedom, produced trusted high‑resolution CAD, reduced labor and rework, cut turnaround by days to months, and consistently delivered better‑fitting, higher‑quality parts on the first try.
