Nigel Mansell Formula 1 Williams FW14B. 3D Scan to CAD

This project showcases the reverse engineering of a 1:18 scale model of the 1992 Williams Renault FW14B, driven by Nigel Mansell. The model was accurately digitised using high-resolution 3D scanning to capture fine details and complex geometries. The scan data (STL) was processed and converted into a parametric CAD model using Geomagic Design X. Key features and surfaces were reconstructed to produce clean, engineering-ready geometry suitable for further development. The final CAD model was delivered in STEP format, enabling the client’s engineering team to perform modifications and design adjustments. To demonstrate scalability, the model was resized to approximately 3 metres and produced using large-scale 3D printing, highlighting the flexibility of the scan-to-CAD workflow for both visualisation and manufacturing applications.
