About

Legacy Engineering: Remastered

Knight Additive specializes in replacing legacy and discontinued parts for automotive, aerospace, and industrial applications. As Central Indiana’s premier Scan-to-Part engineering boutique, we turn ideas into manufacturable parts through high-resolution 3D scanning, precise CAD digital twins, and production-ready deliverables.

I'm a Purdue mechanical engineering graduate with expertise in design-for-manufacturing and material selection. Rapid prototyping is a fantastic tool for ensuring parts work as they should before production. 3D scanning is the latest evolution in design, enabling high accuracy from the very beginning. I ship printed prototypes internationally and am happy to travel to your business for on-site scanning. Proudly serving Indianapolis, Fishers, Carmel, Zionsville, and the surrounding regions.

What We're Best For

Reverse Engineering & Legacy Reproduction: Recreating NLA (no longer available) and obsolete components with modern engineering practices.
Tight-Tolerance Metrology: Capturing complex, high-stakes geometry when hand measurements aren't enough.
