A customer was updating an outboard motor from gas powered to electric. They wanted to re-use the old gearbox and propeller shaft, so they needed an adapter plate to top off the old bottom-end and mount the electric motor on top. We 3D scanned the top of the old motor, turned the point cloud into a parametric model using Geomagics DesignX re-engineering software. The customer then had the part milled based on the model.
