The Process · 03 Projects

From inspiration to installed.

Every Vkreated build moves through the same arc — captured or imagined, modeled in CAD, fabricated in-house, then made to live on the vehicle it was meant for. Three examples below.

Reverse Engineering 2024 3 Stage Build

MKII Vents

Dashboard vents reproduced from an original no longer manufactured. Drop-in fit, OEM-look finish.

01 Capture
3D scan compared against rebuilt CAD model
Stage 01

Scan to 3D model

Original geometry captured and rebuilt cleanly in CAD. The scan informs every surface and clip.

02 Fabricate
3D printed part next to OEM original
Stage 02

Model to printed part

Sliced and printed in-house. Material and orientation tuned to the part's job.

03 Install
Reproduction vent installed in vehicle dashboard
Stage 03

Print to installation

Drop-in fit. Clips engage the original housings; finish disappears into the dash.

Have a part in mind?

Every project starts with a conversation.

If you've got a part that's worn out, missing, or never existed in the first place — that's where the process begins.
