Inputs
Sketches, drawings, photos, samples, and scanned meshes.
3D Design & DFM
From Sketch or Scan to a Production-Ready 3D Model
Bring an idea, drawing, reference photo, or scanned part. We turn the evidence into a clear CAD model, resolve practical design decisions, and prepare the next manufacturing step.
- Sketch and drawing development
- Scan-to-CAD support
- DFM decisions before production
Outputs
Agreed CAD formats, drawings, and design notes.
Decisions
Interfaces, tolerances, materials, and manufacturing route.
Next step
Move directly into a specialist manufacturing review when ready.
Make the design intent clear before the machine starts
Good 3D design is more than modeling surfaces. It connects what you want the part to do with dimensions, interfaces, material behavior, and the process that will make it.
Share the evidence
Send sketches, drawings, photos, a sample, or scan data together with the intended use.
Resolve the unknowns
Identify missing dimensions, critical fits, load cases, finish needs, and assumptions before modeling.
Build and review the CAD
Develop the model and drawings around the selected material, tolerance, and manufacturing route.
Release the next step
Use the approved model for CNC, 3D printing, silicone casting, or another agreed manufacturing review.
See how the design decisions connect
The more useful information we have at the start, the more confidently we can define the model, quote the work, and prepare the next manufacturing step.
Send as much evidence as possible
Sketches, drawings, photos, sample parts, dimensions, material, quantity, use, and critical interfaces help us quote the design work correctly before modeling starts.
DFM before release
We specialize in DFM, so the geometry is shaped around manufacturability, material behavior, tolerances, interfaces, and the process that will actually make the part.
Design for the part, not just the screen
Interfaces and fit
Define holes, clearances, datum references, mating surfaces, and the dimensions that determine whether the part works in the assembly.
Process-aware geometry
Consider machining access, print orientation, support, draft, wall thickness, mold strategy, and finishing before committing to geometry.
Clear deliverables
Agree the CAD format, drawing detail, revision notes, and what remains to be confirmed so the next team can work without guessing.
Indicative starting prices
Use these starting points to choose a service. The final quotation is confirmed after we review geometry, material, quantity, finish, tolerances, and delivery requirements.
3D design work
CAD modeling from drawings, photos, or a brief, including manufacturability review.
Starts at approximately THB 1,500Design revisions
The quote includes the agreed scope. New requirements or revisions after approval may add cost and lead time.
Quoted with project scopePrices are planning references, not a binding offer. We will confirm the scope, tax, delivery, and any revision or finishing work before production.
Manufacturing support from Pak Kret, Nonthaburi
MALIEV supports customers in Bangkok and Nonthaburi and reviews projects across Thailand. Files and project details can be sent online; delivery and onsite work depends on service and project review.

Already have a process in mind?
Send the model or drawing and tell us the material, quantity, and use. We can move the request into CNC machining, 3D printing, silicone casting, or custom manufacturing review.
3D design FAQ
Can you create a CAD model from a sketch or photo?
Yes. Send the sketch, reference photos, dimensions, sample part, or scanned mesh. We confirm what can be measured and which assumptions must be agreed.
Will the model be ready for manufacturing?
The model is developed around the agreed process, material, tolerances, interfaces, and use. Final suitability is confirmed with the selected manufacturing route.
What should I send for a design review?
Send the concept or drawing, target dimensions, material, quantity, critical interfaces, intended use, reference parts, and required CAD format.
What file formats can you deliver?
Depending on the agreed scope, deliverables can include native CAD files such as STEP, STL files, and 2D drawings. Confirm the required format before work begins.
How long does a 3D design project take?
A simple, well-defined request can be completed the same day. Complex geometry or several requested revisions can take multiple days after the scope is confirmed.
Can design changes during the project add cost?
Changes or revisions after modeling starts can add cost when they expand the agreed scope. Sending complete information before kickoff helps us quote the work accurately.
