Reverse Engineering
Elevate the Functionality of Your 3D Models
Reverse engineering offers the means to reconstruct a project in cases where existing 3D models are unavailable or have been lost. When combined with 3D scanning services, this process transforms 3D scan data into a fully operational digital model, capable of undergoing dynamic testing, flexion, and rotation.
In the realm of manufacturing, reverse engineering services play a vital role. The accuracy of data obtained through 3D laser scanning proves invaluable in product design when integrated with CAD software, aligning seamlessly with your manufacturing objectives to bring a tangible product concept to life.
Reverse engineering offers an economical solution for businesses seeking to streamline their manufacturing operations.

Preparing Your Project for 3D Scanning
When our technicians employ 3D laser scanners to capture your project, blue light lasers meticulously record even the minutest details. Through laser triangulation, scan data is transformed into a mesh, capturing the intricacies based on the distances between various reference points.
Reverse engineering harness this scan data to redraw the part within CAD software. This involves incorporating planes, sketches, and dimensions into the models, resulting in a fully optimized 3D model that can be manipulated. The output is provided in CAD formats such as STEP, IGES, and XT.
benefits of reverse engineering
With the ability to transform your 3D point cloud data into fully functional 3D models, you gain the flexibility to enhance, update, and modify them using CAD tools to assess their performance.
A 3D model serves as an excellent means to showcase a forthcoming product before its market debut. If this is your intended purpose for the scan, then a mesh file is the ideal choice.
Rendering data from 3D scanners may demand time, but the result is a remarkably smooth and highly detailed model, offering unparalleled quality.
FAQ
$115 per hour. This cost covers the creation of 3D CAD files in formats such as STEP, XT, or IGES.
This step is the creation of a 3D model using 3D scan data as a precise reference. The mesh is used as a guide to draw in rendering software with extreme detail aided by the 3D laser scanner.Â
Most commonly delivered are STEP, IGES, and XT. Â
Yes, we can deliver the initial export of STL. To work with this mesh file effectively, it’s essential for you or your engineering team to have experience in redrawing scan data.
