Photograph the broken part. Find out why it failed.

Take a few photos on your phone and you will get back an engineering assessment: what the component is, what the fracture says about why it broke, which material the replacement should be in, and roughly what it will cost. Then a person at the lab picks it up and builds the CAD.

  • About 30 seconds

    No form to chase, no callback to wait for, no account to make.

  • It reads the fracture

    Fatigue, brittle overload, UV or heat. The failure mode decides the material.

  • It will talk you out of it

    When printing is the wrong answer for your part, it says so and tells you what to do instead.

1. Photograph the part

One photo is enough to start. Four is better. If you have a steel rule or a vernier, put it in the frame, it is the difference between a size estimate and a guess.

What to shoot

  • The whole part. Square on, with a ruler or caliper beside it
  • The break, close up. This is the one that tells us why it failed
  • The mating face. Whatever it bolts, clips or seats against
  • Where it fits. The machine with the gap it came out of

2. Tell us about it

All optional, but each line makes the assessment sharper.

Usually about 30 seconds. Free, and there is no obligation to order.

What this is, and what it is not

A photograph cannot produce dimensioned, manufacturable CAD. Nothing can, at any price. A single image gives you a shape at unknown scale, and a broken part is missing the exact geometry you need most. Anyone selling you automatic photo-to-CAD is either handing you a rough mesh with CAD written on the box, or has a person doing the work quietly in the background.

So we do not claim it. What this tool does is the part a machine genuinely is good at: looking carefully at a fracture surface, recognising a component, matching service conditions to a material, and flagging what will go wrong when it prints. That is real engineering judgement delivered in thirty seconds instead of two days, and it is free because it earns us the order often enough.

The CAD itself is made by a person, from the actual part, with calipers and thread gauges. That takes two to three days and it is quoted on the pricing page like everything else. You own the result outright, STEP file included.

Your photographs are sent to Anthropic’s API to produce the assessment and are emailed to the lab with your enquiry. They are not published, not used to train anything, and not shared further. If the part is confidential, say so and we will handle it under NDA instead. See policies.

Rather talk to a person?

Entirely reasonable. WhatsApp the same photos to +91 84462 83393 and an engineer will look at them today. The no-CAD route explains how the rest of it works.
