Drawing archive digitisation

A batch of paper or scanned drawings → 3D models. Every sheet gets a status: done, has a question, or needs a better scan. All questions in one list.

Example

Example · a batch of IZh-250 lathe drawings in one PDF

18 items, 20 models — a register with the status of every sheet

Result: “Done” — 2, “Done with questions” — 16, “Not done” — 2 (group general views without part dimensions — honestly not built). Questions are combined into one list for the whole batch, e.g. “the gears have no pressure angle — we build α = 20° per GOST 13755, please confirm”.

Register excerpt. “Dimensions” — how many sheet dimensions matched on the model; mismatches are raised as questions or notes.

Nut — factory scan
Bushing — factory scan
Poor scans too

Repair drawing album of the 16K20 lathe

Old albums usually are poor scans. Where a number can't be read reliably, you get a question with a crop, not a guess. Where there's nothing to read, the sheet gets “better scan needed”.

What you get
  • A model for every sheet: STEP and STL
  • Batch register: item, part, complexity, status, how many dimensions matched, questions
  • One question list for the whole batch — you answer once
  • Model videos and notes — free, before payment
Honest limitations
  • General views without part dimensions aren't modelled — we mark them “not done” and explain why
  • Unreadable sheets get the status “better scan needed”, no guessing
  • We quote the turnaround upfront by batch size; 20 sheets — usually 1–2 days
