In March 2025, we hosted a highly anticipated automotive customization competition and received many outstanding user-generated contents (UGC). This event attracted car enthusiasts from around the world, who not only showcased their passion for customization but also leveraged Creality’s advanced 3D scanning technology to break through the limitations of traditional modification tools, bringing innovation and personalization into every vehicle design.

As 3D scanning technology becomes increasingly widespread, the automotive customization industry is entering a new era. With Creality 3D scanners, users can accurately capture detailed data of vehicle parts, create highly precise digital models, and utilize 3D printing technology to produce customized components. This not only enhances the accuracy and efficiency of modifications but also makes automotive customization more flexible and personalized.

Throughout the competition, participants demonstrated their skills and creativity using Creality 3D scanners, resulting in some truly remarkable projects. Let's take a closer look at several standout cases and see how these car enthusiasts harnessed Creality's 3D scanning technology to create one-of-a-kind customizations.

Real User Cases: Powered by Creality Scanners

[Case 1] Seamless Dashboard Upgrade: Qi2 Charger Mount for Dacia Duster II

Using the Creality Ferret Pro 3D scanner, Brian Dragtstra perfectly customized a Qi2 phone charger and holder for their Dacia Duster II dashboard.

By scanning the dashboard area with Ferret Pro, they captured precise geometry, allowing for an exact-fit design in Fusion 360.

The final product — two PETG printed parts installed with non-permanent adhesive — fits tightly without rattling or shifting, preserving the clean look of the interior.

This project highlights how Creality’s Ferret Pro empowers effortless, professional-grade customizations for real-world vehicle upgrades

[Case 2] Reviving a Legend: Lamborghini LP400S Recreation with Creality RaptorX

Using a Creality RaptorX3D scanner, Rick Mellor precisely scanned a 1988 Lamborghini Countach to capture its full body shape.

Without access to an original "Periscopio" LP400S model, they collaborated with a designer to modify the scanned roof and engine deck based on historical photos and measurements, recreating the iconic 1979 LP400S look.

The modified designs were 3D printed, turned into molds, and used to produce fiberglass replica parts — now being integrated into their custom Countach replica.

This project shows how Creality 3D scanning bridges the gap between classic automotive heritage and modern fabrication techniques.

[Case 3]Precision Electronics Integration with Creality Raptor: ECU and Pedal Upgrades

Using the Creality Raptor 3D scanner, Michael Tremblay conducted multiple high-precision scans to support a full electronics upgrade on their car.

• The instrument cluster was scanned to design a prototype housing for an ECUmaster controller.
• The dashboard was scanned to create a custom-fit mount for the ECUmaster interface.
• The pedal area was scanned to fit a new electronic throttle pedal, ensuring perfect alignment with the existing pedal setup.

More scans are planned as the project progresses, demonstrating how the Raptor 3D scanner empowers users to achieve professional-level integration and customization with unmatched accuracy.

[Case 4]Lightweight Redesign with RaptorX: Honda CBR 900 Frame Transformation

Gus Rivera utilized the Creality RaptorX 3D scanner to completely reimagine a Honda CBR 900’s frame, subframe, and swingarm.

By scanning the original components, he redesigned them into a Voronoi structure, achieving a remarkable 70% weight reduction compared to the stock frame.

This drastic weight saving allowed the rider to significantly improve race performance.

This project highlights how RaptorX's precision scanning makes advanced structural redesigns possible for motorsport applications.

[Case 5]From Scan to Street: Creality Raptor 3D Scanner Powers Custom Widebody Kit for '99 Audi A8

Facing minimal aftermarket support, Dane Eivindson embarked on a passion project to transform a 1999 Audi A8.

Using the Creality Raptor 3D scanner to capture precise body data, they designed and 3D printed a custom widebody kit inspired by the aggressive styling of Euro drift culture.

Thanks to Raptor’s high-accuracy scanning and precise modeling, the project turned out amazing — achieving a unique, perfectly fitted look for a rarely modified platform.

[Case 6] Custom Air Duct and More: Toyota Avensis Upgrades with Creality Otter 3D Scanner

Using the Creality Otter 3D scanner, Sander van Leeuwen precisely captured the shape of the front bumper on a heavily modified Toyota Avensis (1.6 NA to 2.0 Turbo engine swap, FWD to 4WD conversion).

The scan data allowed the design of a custom air duct for an oil cooler hidden behind the bumper, fitting perfectly where a fog light or cover panel would normally be.

Next, the Otter will support more upgrades:

• Custom headlights with Hella projectors and air intakes
• Airflow channels for the alternator and intake system
• Brackets and enclosures for a high-end audio system

[Case 7]Keeping EVs Alive: Fisker Ocean Charging Lid Recreated with Creality Raptor 3D Scanner

With Fisker facing bankruptcy and spare parts becoming scarce, Aug Kenneth turned to the Creality Raptor 3D scanner to solve the issue.

They scanned the charging lid of a Fisker Ocean EV, reverse engineered it, and adjusted the design for Design for Additive Manufacturing (DfAM) before 3D printing it with FDM technology.

Thanks to the precise scan and redesign, Fisker Ocean owners can now replace critical parts and keep their vehicles operational — without needing salvage parts from wrecked cars.

The next steps include scanning the wheel arches and additional components to support even more Fisker Ocean owners.

Conclusion

This automotive customization competition not only provided participants with a platform to showcase their creativity and skills, but also demonstrated how Creality 3D scanning technology is driving innovation in the automotive modification industry.

From classic car body recreations to EV component restoration, from precision-fit custom installations to personalized motorcycle and car modifications, Creality 3D scanners have shown unprecedented potential and flexibility.

As 3D scanning technology continues to evolve, more and more enthusiasts and professionals are integrating it into their customization workflows. Whether designing new parts, reverse engineering, or carrying out repairs, Creality scanners provide the high-accuracy support needed to help car owners realize their modification dreams.

Through the case studies highlighted in this competition, we have seen how Creality 3D scanning is empowering the automotive modification industry, pushing it towards greater precision and deeper personalization.

Looking ahead, as the technology advances and its application scenarios expand, 3D scanning will play an increasingly vital role — helping enthusiasts turn their ideas and dreams into reality.
