How many engineers does APJ3D have?

APJ3D employs 200+ specialist engineers across five dedicated service groups — digital capture & reverse engineering, design & NPD, simulation & CAE, benchmarking & testing, and manufacturing & costing — operating from four delivery hubs in India.

Where are APJ3D's engineering teams located?

APJ3D's team is spread across four strategic hubs: the Hosur headquarters for 3D scanning, CMM metrology and heavy manufacturing teardowns; the Chennai CAE Centre for FEA and mould-flow simulation; the Coimbatore Design Studio for SPM and 2D GD&T drafting; and the Hubballi Regional Hub for in-field scanning and customer support.

Does APJ3D use a single generalist team or specialized groups?

APJ3D operates through five domain-focused service groups rather than one generalist design pool, so each project is handled by engineers who specialize in that specific stage — scanning, CAD, simulation, benchmarking, or manufacturing support — instead of being routed through a single generic team.

What experience level do APJ3D's team leads have?

APJ3D's five domain group leads carry 10 to 15+ years of hands-on experience each, spanning CMM metrology, SPM and NPD design, non-linear FEA and mould-flow analysis, automotive benchmarking, and manufacturing costing.

HARDWARE & HARDWARE METROLOGY

Equipment Our Team Works With

Trained across industry-grade scanners to match exact part size and tolerance demands:

Scanning & Lab Hardware

ZEISS METROLOGY

ZEISS T-SCAN Hawk 2

Hand-held laser scanner tailored for deep pockets, high accuracy, and on-site field capture.

STRUCTURED LIGHT

GOM Scan 1 & ATOS Q

Blue light fringe projection scanners for high-density surface inspection and detailed CAD rebuilds.

PORTABLE LASER

EinScan Pro 2X

Versatile handheld 3D digitizer for medium-scale industrial parts and rapid reverse engineering.

MATERIAL LABS

UTM & Spectrometer

Universal Testing Machines and chemical spectrometers verifying alloy composition and tensile strength.

Tooling Adaptability: A hand-held laser scanner suited to a large sheet-metal panel isn't the right tool for a small, high-tolerance medical component — our team is trained across the full hardware range rather than specialized on one device.

TRACK RECORD & EXPERIENCE

Growing With Every Project

Our 5,000+ completed projects span all five service groups and nine manufacturing industries — which means our simulation team has seen the specific mould-flow defects that recur in plastics & moulding work, our benchmarking team has torn down parts specific to automotive Tier-1 requirements, and our capture team has digitized tooling specific to foundry and casting environments.

That deep cross-industry range is what keeps our engineering work grounded in what actually goes wrong in each industry, instead of a single generic CAD process applied everywhere.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you perform 3D scanning on-site at our manufacturing plant?

Yes. Our engineers travel across India with portable HandySCAN 3D, optical CMMs, and laser trackers to scan parts, dies, tooling, and vehicle bodies directly on your shop floor without disassembly.

How do 3D scanning and reverse engineering differ?

3D scanning captures the raw physical surface geometry as a dense polygonal mesh (.STL). Reverse engineering takes that scan mesh and reconstructs a fully parametric, editable 3D CAD model (STEP, IGES, SolidWorks, NX) with design intent and standard geometric features.

What is a color deviation inspection map?

A color deviation map is a 3D visual comparison of the scanned physical part overlaid against the nominal CAD model. Color gradients (green = in tolerance, red = excess material, blue = undersize) immediately highlight manufacturing warpage, shrinkage, or machining errors.

Can dark, shiny, or transparent surfaces be scanned?

Yes. Our blue laser and structured light scanners handle dark and metallic surfaces directly. For highly reflective chrome or clear glass, a temporary sublimating scan spray is applied that evaporates completely without residue.

What accuracy can we expect for automotive and aerospace components?

We achieve volumetric accuracy down to 0.020 mm to 0.040 mm depending on part size and sensor setup, fully verified against VDI/VDE 2634 and ISO 10360 metrology standards.
