How do you 3D scan a mirror-chromed classic car suspension with certification-grade accuracy? 3D Hub was tasked with digitising the suspension of a highly customised 1976 Holden Torana LX SS, capturing precise geometry for LVVTA certification despite extremely reflective surfaces and complex forms.

Using advanced optical CMM scanning, the team captured the suspension in both free and compressed states, delivering a complete, high-accuracy dataset and a detailed dimensional report. Our process was fast, efficient, and required minimal surface prep.

The result? Certification-ready data and a seamless path forward for the customer’s build.

I hope you've had a great start to 2026. If you’re planning out your projects for 2026 or would like to explore how we can help accelerate your product development, I'd love to lend my support. You're welcome to contact me directly for a free consultation.

As 2025 came to a close we reflected on a year filled with meaningful work, innovative projects and the privilege of supporting Kiwi businesses across Aotearoa. We’re incredibly proud of the solutions we delivered in 2025, from complex reverse engineering projects to precision components and product designs that are now out in the world making an impact.

We saw businesses continue to navigate a challenging landscape. Your trust in our team, technology and expertise has meant a lot. Being able to partner with you to bring new ideas to life through 3D scanning, CAD modelling, product and mechanical design, low-volume manufacturing and more remains the heart of what we do.

Thank you for choosing to work with us and for allowing us to play a part in your innovations. We’re truly grateful for your support.

Best regards,
Craig

At 3D Hub, we love a project that pushes the limits and digitising the suspension system of a fully customised 1976 Holden Torana LX SS definitely fit the bill. With its mirror-chrome finish and complex suspension geometry, this Torana presented a serious scanning challenge. Add in the need to capture data in both compressed and uncompressed states, all to meet the tight tolerances of LVVTA certification requirements, and we were in our element.

Our solution:
We brought in our MetraSCAN 3D optical CMM scanner, a fast, high-precision system that doesn’t need surface targets or messy sprays. Setup took just 30 minutes, and from there, it was smooth sailing:
✔ Scanned both suspension states with ease
✔ No prep required, even on the chrome
✔ Delivered a detailed report ready for LVVTA certification

The result:
A seamless scan, a happy customer, and another example of how we help turn complex engineering into clean, actionable data. We’ve had great feedback on how efficient and accurate the process was - just how we like it.

We love solving these kinds of technical challenges, especially when we get to help New Zealanders bring their builds and ideas to life.

If you’ve got a tricky project or need help with high-precision measurement or certification, we’re always up for it.

3D Hub offers low volume manufacturing. Not all projects require high-volume production runs. That’s why we offer flexible, low-volume manufacturing solutions tailored to your needs. With capabilities in 3D printing, injection moulding, and CNC machining, we can produce high-quality parts in small batches on time and on spec. Our streamlined processes allow us to deliver real value efficiently and competitively.

At 3D Hub, we’re proud to support Kiwi businesses with our wide range of services and experienced team. Our 3D Scanning and Reverse Engineering services allows businesses to capture the shape and detail of physical objects with unmatched speed and precision. Our MetraSCAN 3D optical CMM scanner is one of the fastest and most accurate systems available for shop-floor use. Whether you need digital CAD models or reverse engineered components, we can scan objects of any size and translate them into precise, usable data. From there, we can design complementary parts or create improved versions. If you’re working on a project or have one coming up, we’d love to discuss how we can help.

We recently produced silicone-molded sleeves and bag clamps for a food processing product using compression molding for short-run production. The parts were praised by our customer for their superior fit, quality, and finish - at a lower cost compared to previous manufacturing methods. If you have parts that aren't functioning as you had hoped, get in touch with us.

The summer holidays are fast approaching and here at 3D Hub we’re reflecting on another year filled with amazing clients, great projects and products we’ve proudly helped bring to life. 2024 has been a big year for us, highlighted by the creation of mast head units, media stand cases, and microphone mounts for the America’s Cup.

This year we’ve seen New Zealand businesses navigating additional pressures. These circumstances have made our work more meaningful than ever. Collaborating with Kiwi businesses to bring their inventive product designs to life is what we find deep joy in and believe is important to supporting the New Zealand economy. We look forward to making 3D scanning, reverse engineering, CAD modelling, product design, mechanical design, low volume manufacturing and finite element analysis services as accessible as possible to Kiwi businesses in 2025.

We will be winding up for the year on 20th December and we look forward to returning rested, rejuvenated and raring to go on 13th January.

Craig and the 3D Hub team.

When 3D scanning the Hilux Ute our goal was to deliver precise scan data to support the design of a canopy for the ute tray. We scanned the tray, back window, and part of the roofline using our highly accurate Metro Scanner, achieving a 0.1mm accuracy. Our customer appreciated the clean, accurate data that provided a strong foundation for their design process - exactly why they chose us.
