What does 9OneFour help with?
9OneFour is an independent Canadian product-development and CAD design studio. Work includes product concepts, components and assemblies, reverse modeling, redesign, practical prototypes and manufacturing preparation. See the current capabilities.
Do I need a CAD file before I get in touch?
No. A description, sketch, photograph, drawing or existing part can start the conversation. Tell us what it needs to do, what it must fit and what you want to change. The information needed for the next stage is part of scoping the project.
Can you turn a scan into editable CAD?
A scan mesh and a CAD model are different deliverables. CAD reconstruction uses scans, measurements and design requirements to rebuild the geometry. Features, reference dimensions and required file formats are agreed in the scope; a mesh does not automatically become a complete design simply by exporting it to another format.
Where should I go for a standalone 3D scan?
For scan-only requests and STL/OBJ mesh deliverables, use ScanMyPart. If you need CAD reconstruction, modification or product development, start with 9OneFour. The services have separate inquiry routes.
Do you still offer production 3D printing?
9OneFour’s focus is design and development. General production printing and batch manufacturing are no longer the studio’s standard offer. Limited hands-on prototype work and outside fabrication may form part of an individually scoped design project. See the production printing update.
How much does a project cost, and how long does it take?
Both depend on the requirements, available information, deliverables and review stages. We agree a project proposal before work begins. There are no published fixed rates or guaranteed turnaround times. Read about project pricing and process.
Can we work together remotely?
Yes. The studio is based in Ontario and works remotely with clients across Canada. CAD, drawings, photos and feedback can be shared digitally. If a physical part or prototype needs to move, agree the shipping or handoff arrangements before sending it. See service areas.
Can you arrange manufacturing?
Manufacturing preparation can include files, drawings and discussion of suitable processes or fabrication partners. Supplier availability, pricing and production acceptance are separate project decisions. A design engagement does not automatically include a production run.
How do I send files?
Start with the project inquiry form, then email photos, drawings or CAD files separately to amir@9onefour.com. Mention your name and project so the files can be matched to the inquiry.
Do you sell physical products?
The Manthey GT3 RS rear-view camera kit is a specialty product with inquiry-led ordering. Product details and fitment review belong to that page; shipping and returns describes the product-order policy.
