3‑D Scanning & Printing at Stereo Steve’s: Custom Parts, OEM‑Level Fit

From dash panels and switch pods to speaker adapters, radar mounts, sensor bezels, and trim, our scan‑to‑print workflow delivers clean integration, repeatable results, and a factory look—without compromising serviceability.

Benefits of Our Scan‑to‑Print Process

1. Precision Fit from Real Geometry We capture your vehicle with structured‑light scanning for tight tolerances and true‑to‑shape mounting surfaces.

2. Design Freedom, Clean Integration Route wiring invisibly, add cable relief, hide fasteners, include grommet paths, and preserve airflow and access.

3. Rapid Prototyping & Iteration Move from concept to test‑fit quickly. We iterate until the part clicks into place and looks factory.

4. Materials for the Real World PETG/ABS/ASA for cabin and under‑hood tolerance zones, Nylon/CF‑Nylon for higher strength, and resin options for fine detail—selected for heat, UV, and vibration.

5. Factory‑Look Finish Sanded and textured surfaces, paint‑match or wrap, and branded engraves or icons where desired.

6. Serviceable & Strong Internal ribs, fillets, and heat‑set threaded inserts for reliable mounting and future removal without damage.

7. Documented for Rebuilds We retain models and settings so replacements or revisions are straightforward if you ever need them.

Compliance note: We do not fabricate safety‑critical parts (airbag/supplemental restraint components, brake/steering/seat‑belt hardware). For lighting, body, and electronics covers, we’ll advise on local regulations and best practices.

The Stereo Steve’s Experience

We tailor each project to your vehicle, aesthetic, and use‑case—built to last and look right.

• Discovery & Goals: Use case, mounting points, clearances, service access, and design language (OEM vs. custom).

• 3‑D Scan: Surface prep and marker placement; capture panels, cavities, and fastener locations for accurate references.

• CAD & Engineering: Model parts with proper wall thickness, bosses, standoffs, drain/vent paths, and harness channels.

• Prototype & Test‑Fit: Draft prints for refinement; adjust snap features, tab flex, and edge radii for a flush fit.

• Production Print: Optimized orientation, infill, perimeters, and annealing/treatment where beneficial.

• Finish & Install: Texture/paint/wrap, heat‑set inserts, stainless hardware, loom and grommet routing, and a clean OEM‑style handoff.

• QA & Documentation: Fit verification, fastener torque checks, and archived print profiles for future service.

Ready to Build Your Part?

Bring your vehicle (or the panel you’d like to modify) and a quick sketch or inspiration photo. We’ll scan, design, and produce a part that fits, functions, and finishes like it came that way from the factory.
