How We Work
Email contact@thielen3d.com with your part challenge.
Photos, measurements, files, quantity, and urgency help us evaluate quickly.
We evaluate material, fit, risk, manufacturability, and whether scanning or CAD work is needed.
We provide a scope before engineering, reverse engineering, or manufacturing begins.
Approved work moves into CAD, scanning, prototyping, manufacturing, or delivery planning.
For repeat customers, we can support digital spare parts planning.
