Rebuilding a cast triple clamp from a 3D scan
An Artec 3D scan of a motorcycle triple clamp, rebuilt as a parametric model in 37 sketches. Change a bore, the spacing, or the web, and the casting rebuilds around it.

Vector for engineering teams
Start with a pilot on your own parts. We’ll help you choose the work, agree on how results are checked, and roll Vector out to the engineers who need it.
How a pilot works
- 01
Choose representative work
A scan to rebuild, a drawing package to model, or a backlog of repairs. Start with parts your team already understands well enough to judge the result.
- 02
Agree on the checks first
Set acceptance criteria before Vector starts: dimensions, clearances, ratios, and export round-trips. Results are measured against them, the same way our case studies are.
- 03
Review the evidence
Every change is a native feature in your model, and each check Vector runs is reported in the conversation with its measured result.
Requirements and output
- Operating system
- Windows 10 or later, x64 and Arm64
- Autodesk Fusion
- Through Fusion’s built-in MCP server. No add-in
- SOLIDWORKS
- Through a per-user add-in, including 3DEXPERIENCE launchers. x64
- Bambu Studio
- Through an adapter Vector installs, on the same PC
- Installation
- Per-user installer. Uses your existing application installs and licenses
- Sign-in
- Google, or email and password
- Network
- Internet connection required. Honors your system proxy settings
- Output
- Native sketches, features, joints, and parameters; STEP, STL, PDF drawings, and 3MF exports
Native, editable models
Vector builds with sketches, features, mates, and parameters, so anyone on your team can open the model and keep working on it by hand.
Uses the CAD you already have
It connects to the installation on your workstation. There’s nothing to migrate, and your files stay in the formats you use today.
Every change is listed
Each step shows up in the conversation with what it changed, so you can follow the work and check it afterward.
Checks its own work
Ask for a check and Vector measures the model: clearances, gear ratios, drawing callouts, and exported files.
Case studies
Designing a four-speed dog-clutch gearbox from a brief
A four-speed gearbox designed from a written brief: 93 solids, with all four ratios measured from the assembly in motion.
