Custom Aftermarket Automotive Fabrication, Built In-House

Automotive fabrication is the process of turning a physical part, like a discontinued bracket, a damaged panel, or a one-off custom piece, into a manufactured replacement or upgrade. At Kemperle Industries, that includes 3D scanning, reverse engineering, and in-house production, all under one roof.

Most automotive manufacturers never hand over 3D CAD data, especially for parts that are decades out of production. So we start with the part itself. A 3D scan captures its exact geometry, and we rebuild it as a clean, editable CAD model, ready for fabrication. This process is called reverse engineering.

From there, the part gets made using whatever process fits: CNC-routed from aluminum or composite, 3D printed for prototyping or low-volume runs, or cast for reproduction pieces. There’s no handoff between a scanning shop and a separate fab shop. It all happens in our Brooklyn facility.

  • Reverse engineer discontinued or damaged aftermarket components
  • 3D scan body panels, interiors, and trim for exact-fit replication
  • CNC route custom aftermarket brackets, panels, and housings
  • 3D print prototypes before committing to final material

How Does Our Automotive Fabrication Process Work?

01
Step 01
Scan & Capture
We bring the scanner to the part, or the part comes to us. 3D scanning captures the full surface geometry, whether it's a body panel, a dash, or a single bracket. Kemperle Industries scans on-site or at our Brooklyn shop if the part can travel.

Step 02
Rebuild in CAD
The scan is reconstructed as an editable CAD model, not just a raw mesh. It's ready for modification, tolerancing, or direct handoff to manufacturing. This step is what makes discontinued or one-off parts reproducible in the first place, since there's rarely an original CAD file to start from.

Step 03
Prototype & Verify Fit
A 3D printed prototype confirms fit before committing to final material, catching clearance or alignment issues early. It's a low-cost way to test a bracket or panel against the actual vehicle before cutting anything in aluminum or composite.

Step 04
Fabricate
The final part is produced by whichever process fits best: CNC routing, 3D printing, or molding and casting. Materials and finish are matched to the original part or upgraded to the customer's spec, so the result performs as well as, or better than, what it replaces.

What We Do for Automotive Projects

H1 Hummer 3D Scan

High-accuracy 3D scanning of existing parts, panels, and full interiors. We scan on-site in NYC and across the Northeast, or in our Brooklyn shop if you can bring the part to us. Output comes as a point cloud, a clean mesh, or straight into CAD reconstruction, whatever your project needs.

Learn About 3D Scanning
Reverse Engineering Subaru center console bezel

Scan-to-CAD reconstruction of obsolete, damaged, or bespoke automotive components. We deliver fully editable CAD models, not just meshes, so parts can be modified, tolerance-checked, and handed off for manufacturing.

Learn About Reverse Engineering
CNC prototype bracket

Custom aftermarket brackets, trim panels, and mounting hardware routed to spec in aluminum, plastics, and composite materials. We work from your CAD file or from a reverse-engineered scan, so even one-off or low-volume parts get machined to precise tolerances.

Learn About CNC Routing
Automotive Fabrication 3D print

FDM, SLA, and SLS prototypes and end-use parts. We can deliver just the files, or finished parts, whichever stage you need.

Real Builds, Real Tolerances

We’ve scanned high-performance wheel components for exact-fit reverse engineering, alongside restoration work on classic vehicles, aftermarket customization, and one-off custom builds. That range is only possible because everything happens under one roof. Our Brooklyn shop keeps us close to the finishers and specialists that complex automotive builds need.
