Project Overview
This project involved reverse engineering the front splitter of a 2002 Mitsubishi Ralliart to create an accurate CAD model for reproduction. The client wanted to manufacture the splitter using a softer and more flexible material to reduce damage from ground impacts while maintaining the original shape and fit.
Challenge
The splitter has complex surfaces on both the top and bottom sides, which required precise digital capture. The challenge was to accurately reconstruct the geometry and deliver a clean CAD model suitable for manufacturing.
Solution
The splitter was captured using high-accuracy 3D laser scanning, and the scan data was processed in CAD software to rebuild the geometry and remove imperfections. The final digital model was refined to ensure smooth surfaces and accurate mounting features.

Result
The completed replacement chain guard achieved excellent fitment, improved appearance, and durable performance. The final component allowed the motorcycle to be restored with a functional and high-quality replacement part ready for installation.
