Laser Engraving on Jewelry and Watches: What Is Possible and What to Expect
Laser engraving on jewelry and watches lets you add names, dates, logos, serial numbers, and decorative patterns with a level of detail that hand engraving rarely matches. At eCadCam, our Glendale studio has spent more than 22 years working with lasers, CAD, and 3D fabrication, and we regularly engrave small, high-value pieces where precision matters. […]
Engineering Drawings and GD&T for Product Design: What a Manufacturing-Ready CAD Package Includes
A 3D model on its own rarely tells a machine shop, molder, or fabricator everything they need to build your part. Engineering drawings and GD&T (geometric dimensioning and tolerancing) are what turn a good-looking CAD file into a manufacturing-ready product design package. At eCadCam, our Glendale studio has spent more than 22 years preparing CAD […]
3D Scanning for Museums and Heritage Preservation: Digitizing Artifacts, Sculptures, and Historic Objects

Product Enclosure Design in CAD: Wall Thickness, Snap Fits, and Screw Bosses for Electronics
Product enclosure design is where an electronics idea stops being a circuit board on a bench and becomes something a customer can hold. A good enclosure protects the electronics, goes together without fuss, looks right, and can actually be manufactured at your target cost. At eCadCam, our Los Angeles studio has spent more than 22 […]
3D Scanning for Architecture and Construction: As-Built Documentation and BIM Integration
3D scanning for architecture and construction has become one of the fastest ways to capture the true, as-built condition of a building instead of relying on outdated drawings or manual field measurements. Whether you’re renovating a historic property, planning a tenant improvement, or documenting a facility for facilities management, a 3D scan gives architects, engineers, […]
Hiring a 3D Scanning Service vs. Buying a 3D Scanner: Cost, Capability, and When Each Makes Sense
Hiring a 3D scanning service vs. buying a 3D scanner is a question many businesses ask once they start needing scan data regularly. Scanners have become more affordable, but owning one is not the same as getting usable results. As a 3D scanning studio in Los Angeles, we see both sides of the decision. Here […]
