Reverse Engineering Services
Reverse engineering offers the means to reconstruct a project in 3D CAD files, ready for manufacturing, data analysis and more.
What Is Reverse Engineering?
In the context of 3D scanning, reverse engineering involves creating a digital 3D model of a physical object using data captured by a 3D scanner. Initial scan data is created in a mesh file.
This process allows for design modifications, manufacturing, data analysis, cataloging of legacy components, and prototyping.


Reverse Engineering to CAD
Our team of dedicated CAD engineers specialize in product development and are well-equipped to offer valuable insights and guidance on the most efficient production methods tailored to your project.
Paired with 3D scanning services, initial scan data is created in an ultra-precise mesh file, and then used as a guide to accurately reverse engineering to universal CAD format.

How is 3D Scanning Used?
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.
