Emergency CAD · Industrial · Alabama
Mail it Monday.
Back Online Friday.
Industrial facility. Critical equipment down. Parts needed immediately with no local CAD capability to reverse-engineer the failed components. The brief landed Monday morning. We had scan data processed and technical drawings shipped by Wednesday. The facility sourced fabrication locally and was back online before the weekend. This is what emergency callout looks like when you're dealing with a studio that doesn't need three meetings to start.

Shopify Was
Costing Them.
A specialty materials brand with 400+ SKUs was paying Shopify fees, fighting the template to make their products look right, and spending hours manually uploading product photos. We built them a static catalog site from their existing spreadsheet, connected it to their Google Drive photo folders, and got them off Shopify entirely. The result: a site that actually looks like their brand, loads faster, and costs nothing per month to host.

The Agent
That Qualifies.
A design studio was losing leads to slow response times — inquiries would come in outside business hours, get no response, and go cold by morning. We built and deployed a custom AI agent trained on their service offerings, pricing, and process. It now handles first contact 24/7: qualifies leads, explains the studio's work, and captures contact info for follow-up. The studio started conversations already warm instead of starting from zero.

What we actually do

Design.
Data.
Drive.

Nine capabilities. One roof. From high-resolution scan to fabricated part — and everything in between. Based at San Gabriel Valley Airport, El Monte CA.

3D Scanning
High-fidelity digital capture of complex geometries. Sub-millimeter accuracy on any part, component, or assembly — from a brake caliper to an airframe rib.
  • Precision: ±0.05mm typical accuracy
  • Output: STEP, IGES, STL, OBJ, point cloud
  • Use cases: Reverse engineering, QC, archiving
CAD-to-Part
From initial sketches or scan data to final production-ready parts. Concept to manufacturable component — seamlessly, with full documentation on delivery.
  • Turnaround: 48h standard, same-day emergency
  • Software: SolidWorks, Fusion 360, Rhino
  • Deliverables: STEP, DXF, DWG, PDF drawing packages
Motorsport Eng.
Performance, reliability, competitiveness — engineered for track, rally, or bespoke high-performance applications. Built to win, not just to spec.
  • Applications: Track, rally, time attack, endurance
  • Scope: Suspension, aero, drivetrain, structural
  • Output: Race-ready parts with full engineering sign-off
Aircraft R&D
Airframe structures, mechanical systems, and performance-critical components for experimental aircraft. Based at SGVA — we understand what this work demands.
  • Scope: Experimental / LSA / homebuilt
  • Capability: Structural, mechanical, systems integration
  • Location: On-site at San Gabriel Valley Airport
3D Printing
Performance-grade additive manufacturing. Structural integrity and precision for motorsport and aerospace — not desktop-grade output.
  • Process: FDM multi-material, SLA / resin
  • Materials: Engineering-grade polymers, composites
  • Use: Functional prototypes, race parts, jigs & fixtures
Digital Design
Aesthetic sensibility meets mechanical insight. Clean, purposeful solutions to complex design challenges — where form and function aren't in competition.
  • Output: Concept renders, production visuals, CMF
  • Tools: KeyShot, Rhino, SolidWorks Visualize
  • Scope: Product, automotive, industrial
Vehicle Tuning
Suspension geometry to drivetrain calibration — unlocking maximum performance through precise engineering setup. Data-driven, not gut-feel.
  • Scope: Suspension, alignment, drivetrain, aero balance
  • Approach: Measured, validated, documented
  • Applications: Street, track, competition
Off-road Fab.
Rugged, purpose-built components. Engineering precision combined with practical durability for extreme environments where failure isn't an option.
  • Process: Shop fabrication, welding, finishing
  • Materials: Steel, aluminium, chromoly
  • Applications: Off-road, overland, desert racing
AI Deployment
The newest capability in the studio. Purpose-built AI agents trained on your business — handling intake, qualification, and client comms while you focus on the work.
  • Training: Your services, pricing, voice
  • Deployment: Website widget, 24/7 availability
  • Includes: Lead capture, qualification, handoff

Design.
Data.
Drive.

Tracehaus is a boutique design and engineering studio based at San Gabriel Valley Airport, El Monte CA. We bridge digital precision and real-world fabrication — from high-resolution scans to fully realised parts.

The studio was built on three things: craft, curiosity, and control. Automotive and motorsport work is where the roots are — but the capability stack has grown to cover experimental aircraft, industrial engineering, digital design, and now AI. Same rigour. Different problem.

We work by appointment. Every project starts with a focused discovery session — understanding your application, constraints, and end goals before any work begins. We scope it, we commit to it, we deliver it.

The AI-Pilot Philosophy

AI does the
lifting. We do the
thinking.

Every capability at Tracehaus is run through an AI-pilot model. That means AI handles the repeatable — the data processing, the first drafts, the formatting, the pattern-matching — while the humans in the studio handle the judgment calls, the quality bar, and the client relationship.

This isn't about replacing craft. It's about removing everything that isn't craft from the pipeline. The result is faster turnaround without lower standards, and prices that don't require you to take out a second mortgage to get a technical drawing done.

Engineering for everyone is the mission underneath all of it. The studio that was too slow, too expensive, and too specialized to exist for most clients — we built it to be accessible. That's the whole point.

The honest case
Four things nobody
else does.
01
01
The physical-to-digital pipeline.
No platform scans your parts, reverse-engineers them, and builds the catalog website to sell them. That's three different vendors for most businesses — or one studio for Tracehaus clients. Scanner, website, AI agent — all under one roof.
02
02
Zero platform dependency.
Every site we build is static HTML you own outright. No Shopify contract. No Webflow subscription. No email that doubles your bill. You host it on Netlify for free. The platform can't hold your business hostage because there is no platform.
03
03
AI co-pilot. Not AI replacement.
Every deliverable has a human reviewing it before it reaches you. AI accelerates the repeatable work so humans can focus on judgment calls. Platform speed with studio quality. That's the AI-pilot model.
04
04
The intake is the service.
Talking to the Tracehaus agent isn't a chatbot before the real help. It qualifies your project, explains what we'd actually do, and captures everything the studio needs to start. You arrive already halfway through discovery.
Who this is for
Real situations.
Real answers.
The burned manufacturer
Six weeks for a drawing that should take two days
Mail it Monday, drawings Wednesday — that's the standard here, not the exception.
The Shopify refugee
Paying platform fees to fight a template that doesn't fit your brand
We build from your data. You own what we build. No monthly fee when we're done.
The engineering parts client
Need a CF or GF part printed to spec, fast
24+ engineering materials stocked. Upload your STL for an instant quote — or ask the agent what to print it in.
The downtime emergency
Equipment down. Parts needed. No local CAD capability to call
Emergency callout available. Send photos, measurements, whatever exists. We'll tell you what we can do and when.
