Metal fabrication workshop with technical drawings and fabricated components

LiDAR, mesh integration & fabrication

Winnovation Design

Location scanning, object capture, mesh-based design, and metal fabrication for productions that need digital intent translated into real-world precision.

From scans, drawings, and digital models to camera-ready physical objects.

Winnovation Design helps art departments, set decorators, prop masters, and construction teams decide how a piece should actually be made. The work can start with LiDAR surveys, object scans, drawings, references, dimensions, and production constraints, then move through mesh integration, fabrication choices, materials, build strategy, and final practical delivery.

The bridge

A clear path from scan to structure

01

Scan or Survey

Capture locations, existing objects, and awkward physical constraints with LiDAR or object scanning when measurements alone are not enough.

02

Integrate the Mesh

Bring scan data into the drawing process so new parts can be designed around real surfaces, offsets, gaps, and attachment points.

03

Design the Missing Piece

Use the existing scanned pieces to solve the geometry, shape the replacement or connector, and decide what has to be fabricated.

04

Fabricate and Fit

Cut, weld, form, fasten, test-fit, adjust, and prepare the piece so it works physically, visually, safely, and within the scanned space.

05

Deliver Set-Ready

Provide the final object, assembly, or component ready for paint, scenic treatment, installation, or direct use.

Scanning workflow

Real spaces and objects become usable build data.

LiDAR surveys help capture locations before fabrication starts, so set pieces can be designed around the space they need to occupy. Individual objects can also be scanned, assembled digitally, and used as the reference for the missing part that has to be fabricated.

That scan-to-build workflow is especially useful when the original part is irregular, damaged, unavailable, or has to connect to existing production pieces with a believable fit.

Capabilities

Built for the odd, specific, deadline-driven pieces production always needs.

LiDAR and Object Scanning

Location surveys, object capture, mesh cleanup, and scan-informed drawing support for pieces that need to fit real-world geometry.

Metal Fabrication

Frames, brackets, supports, prop structures, visible metalwork, hidden reinforcement, and custom one-off assemblies.

Mesh-to-Drawing Integration

Using scan data alongside CAD, sketches, and reference photos to produce a practical shop plan.

Digital-to-Physical Planning

Solving the gap between what exists in a drawing or render and what can be built, moved, finished, and filmed.

Problem Solving

Material choices, attachment points, breakdowns, rigging considerations, tolerances, and on-the-fly build decisions.
