Engineering-Grade LiDAR Scanning | Scan-to-CAD | SolidWorks Modelling | Fabrication Drawings Fabrication projects in Smithfield and Western Sydney frequently involve installing new structural steelwork, pipework, machinery and mechanical equipment within existing industrial facilities. Accurate site measurements are essential when fabricated components must interface with structures and equipment that may have been modified over many years. Hamilton By Design provides professional 3D scanning for fabrication in Smithfield NSW , combining engineering-grade LiDAR scanning with mechanical engineering, SolidWorks CAD modelling, reverse engineering and fabrication drawing services. Our engineering-led approach helps fabricators and industrial contractors capture existing site conditions, identify potential installation conflicts and improve dimensional confidence before manufacturing begins.

Most workshops don’t have a production problem…

 Most workshops don’t have a production problem… They have a data problem . Engineers finish the design ✔ Then someone manually types part numbers into purchasing ❌ Someone counts quantities again ❌ Someone builds work orders ❌ By the time production starts — the drawing is right, but the information isn’t trusted. This is why manufacturing delays happen even when the engineering is good. Modern workshops don’t run from drawings anymore. They run from structured data. When CAD feeds your MRP system directly: • BOMs generate automatically • Purchase orders create themselves • Scheduling updates live • Revisions stop causing chaos Design stops being documentation — and becomes operations. I wrote a short article explaining how this workflow actually works inside a factory: https://www.hamiltonbydesign.com.au/cad-to-mrp-data-integration/ If your team still re-enters information after every design… you’re running two systems instead of one.
