Custom Parts
When the Part No Longer Exists — We Make It.
Beyond restoration oversight, BEADICA can now recreate obsolete components through precision 3D scanning and printing.
When Originals Run Out
Many British and European classics depend on small parts that have long been out of production. A missing clip, knob or bezel can stall an otherwise complete restoration.
Rather than compromise originality, we recreate them — preserving the details that make a vehicle unmistakably of its era.
From Original to Era-Correct
Scan
The original or surviving part is captured with a high-precision handheld 3D scanner.
Model
The scan is refined into a printable model, repairing damage or wear where needed.
Print
The component is produced in a suitable material on our enclosed, heated-chamber printer.
Finish & Fit
The part is cleaned, finished and test-fitted to the vehicle.
Precision in Service of Heritage
3D Printer
Enclosed, heated-chamber printing for carefully considered materials and faithful reproductions.
- Build volume
- 300 × 300 × 300 mm
- Print speed
- Up to 600 mm/s
- Printing accuracy
- ±0.1 mm per 100 mm
- Layer heights
- From 0.05 mm
- Active chamber heating up to 60 °C, 300 °C nozzle, 110 °C heated bed.
- Compatible with PLA, PETG, PET, ABS, ASA and carbon-fibre-reinforced PLA-CF, PA-CF and PPA-CF.
- Multi-colour / multi-material printing with an integrated multi-material system (expandable up to 16 colours).
The heated, enclosed chamber helps reduce warping with engineering materials like ABS and ASA.
3D Scanner
A handheld infrared structured-light 3D scanner, capable of capturing small details through to larger automotive components.
- Accuracy
- Up to 0.02 mm
- 3D resolution
- 0.05–2 mm
- Scanning speed
- Up to 20 fps
- Working distance
- 110–1000 mm
Capturing the surviving original provides a considered starting point for safeguarding its shape, proportions and finer details.
The Details Worth Preserving
- Interior trim clips and fasteners
- Knobs and switch caps
- Bezels and surrounds
- Brackets and mounts
- Badges/emblem backings
- Prototypes
- Test-fit patterns
- Casting patterns
A note on strength
Printed parts are ideal for trim, interior and non-structural components, prototypes and patterns.
Safety-critical, high-load or high-temperature parts (e.g. braking, steering, suspension or engine-bay components exposed to heat) are not suited to printing; for these, a printed part can serve as a pattern for traditional manufacturing. Each part is assessed individually.
