3D Printed Classic Car & Automotive Parts
Stop searching junk yards and swap meets for discontinued parts. We reverse-engineer, redesign, and 3D print replacement parts in heat-resistant, UV-stable materials.
What We Offer
Restoration Parts Without the Wait
Discontinued Part Replacement
Recreate parts that manufacturers no longer produce -- knobs, clips, bezels, brackets, and trim pieces.
Reverse Engineering
Send us a broken or worn original and we'll digitize and reproduce it with modern materials.
Custom Fabrication
One-off brackets, adapters, and mounting solutions for resto-mod builds and custom projects.
How It Works
From Broken Original to Perfect Replacement
Send the Part or Description
Ship the original part, send photos with measurements, or bring it to our Charlotte shop.
Digitize & Design
We 3D scan or manually measure the part and create a precise CAD model.
Material Selection
ABS for under-hood heat, ASA for UV exposure, Nylon for mechanical stress.
Print & Fit
Parts printed, test-fit verified, and finished to match the original.
Materials & Specs
Automotive-Grade Materials for Real-World Conditions
ABS
Heat-resistant up to 100C. The go-to material for under-hood components, engine bay brackets, and parts exposed to high temperatures.
ASA
UV-stable for exterior applications. Won't yellow, crack, or degrade from sun exposure -- ideal for exterior trim and bezels.
Nylon
High mechanical strength and wear resistance. Perfect for clips, hinges, gears, and any part under continuous mechanical stress.
PETG
Versatile general-use material with good impact resistance. Great for interior trim, dashboard components, and non-heat-critical parts.
Case Study
1967 Camaro Dashboard Vent Bezels
Challenge
A Lake Norman classic car enthusiast restoring a 1967 Camaro needed dashboard vent bezels -- parts that run $400+ when found at swap meets, and the original was cracked and incomplete.
Solution
CLT 3D Printing reverse-engineered the bezel from the damaged original, created a precise CAD model, and printed the parts in ASA for heat and UV resistance. Surface finishing matched the original texture.
Result
Four bezels delivered for $120 total -- a fraction of the swap meet price. Fit was indistinguishable from the original factory part. The owner has since ordered additional trim pieces for the same restoration.

How 3D Printing Is Saving Classic Car Restorations →Frequently Asked Questions
Can you make a part that is no longer manufactured?
Yes. We recreate discontinued parts such as knobs, clips, bezels, brackets, and trim pieces by reverse engineering an original, or from photos with measurements.
Do I need to send you the original part?
It helps but is not required. You can ship the original, send photos with measurements, or arrange a local drop-off in Charlotte. We measure or scan the part and build a precise CAD model.
Will a 3D printed part hold up in the engine bay?
ABS is heat resistant up to about 100°C and works for many under-hood brackets and components. ASA is UV stable for exterior trim and will not yellow or crack in the sun. Parts that sit near exhaust or turbo heat need metal, not plastic.
Are 3D printed parts suitable for brakes, steering, or suspension?
No. 3D printed plastic parts are not a substitute for safety-critical components such as brakes, steering, or suspension, and our terms make suitability for load-bearing and safety-critical use the customer's responsibility. Our restoration work focuses on trim, interior, cosmetic, and non-structural mechanical parts.
How much does a reproduction part cost?
Cost depends on the part's size, material, and how much design work it needs. Send photos or the part for a free quote; we respond within one business day.
