IMG Digital Capture + Fabrication

Turn physical objects
into usable digital assets.

IMG x Likeness provides professional 3D capture and fabrication services for auto repair and restoration shops, contractors, manufacturers, machine shops, inventors, product developers, artists, sculptors, museums, and businesses needing replacement or custom components.

Scan → Digitize → Modify → Prototype → Produce

Workflow

From a real thing to a real file — and back to a real part.

  1. 01

    Scan

    High-resolution 3D capture of the physical object at HQ-1 or on-site.

  2. 02

    Digitize

    Polished, usable digital asset — clean mesh, accurate dimensions.

  3. 03

    Modify

    Edit, scale, repair, or adapt the model for a new purpose.

  4. 04

    Prototype

    Print or fabricate a tangible copy for fit, form, or function testing.

  5. 05

    Produce

    Small-batch runs or one-off parts ready for the work that needs them.

Service categories

Six quote-based ways to scope the work.

We do not lock the service into a fixed menu. Some jobs stop at capture, some need cleanup, some need CAD, and some become prototype or fabrication work. We'll tell you what the job actually takes.

Quote-based

3D Scan / Digital Capture

High-resolution capture of a physical object, assembly, or site detail.

Best for

Reference, archival, geometry capture, or the first step in a larger job.

Quote-based

Scan Cleanup / Printable Model

Repair, orient, scale, and prep a scan for printing, review, or simple reuse.

Best for

Printable models, presentation files, and cleaner handoff assets.

Quote-based

Reverse Engineering / CAD

Rebuild a usable CAD starting point from a scan or physical part.

Best for

Discontinued parts, redesign, modification, or manufacturing reference.

Quote-based

Prototype Production

Turn the scan into a test-fit print, prototype, or iteration-ready physical sample.

Best for

Inventors, product developers, and teams validating fit or form.

Quote-based

Finished Fabrication

Produce a finished part or small batch after the modeling and material decisions are locked.

Best for

Replacement parts, custom components, and real-world use cases.

Quote-based

On-Site Commercial Scanning

We come to the shop, jobsite, factory floor, museum, or facility.

Best for

Fixed-in-place objects, large assets, and locations where the part cannot move.

What we promise

Quote-based

No fixed pricing menu. We inspect the job, then route the right amount of work.

Honest about scope

We do not promise every raw scan becomes engineering-ready CAD. Some jobs stop at capture or cleanup.

Commercial-ready

Built for shops, contractors, manufacturers, museums, inventors, and serious creators.

HQ-1 or on-site

Bring the object to HQ-1 when possible, or ask for an on-site commercial scan when it cannot move.

Who this is for

Built for shops, manufacturers, museums, and creators who need the right part or file done correctly.

Auto repair / restoration

Trim, brackets, housings, clips, interior pieces, body components, and rare replacement parts.

Contractors / builders

Architectural details, replacement pieces, fixtures, damaged components, and molding.

Manufacturers

Legacy components, inspection models, tooling references, and production-ready geometry.

Machine Shops

Capture geometry for CAD, CNC, and fabrication starting points when only a physical part exists.

Inventors / product developers

Concept parts, working prototypes, and design iterations that need a better digital path.

Artists / sculptors / creators

Sculptures, props, collectibles, and physical work that needs capture, editioning, or fabrication.

Museums / preservation

Archival capture for fragile, rare, or irreplaceable objects.

Replacement / custom components

Businesses that need a part they cannot buy again or a custom component made right.

Physical intake

Bring it to HQ-1.

Bring us something physical. We help turn it digital, reproduce it, improve it, or build from it. HQ-1 supports drop-off intake, on-site commercial scans, model cleanup + reverse-engineering, and prototype + small-batch fabrication.

Address

1724 N. 13th Street, St. Louis, MO

Or we come to you — ask about on-site commercial scanning.

Ready when you are

Describe the object. We'll route the work.

You don't need to know STL from STEP. Tell us what you have, what you want it to become, and whether it can come to HQ-1. Ask Sentinel will route it into the right queue.
