Capture Planning
Agree the part condition, accessible surfaces, datum strategy, and measurement requirements before capture.
DISCIPLINE 05 // PHYSICAL PARTS / DIGITAL DESIGN
3D Scanning & Reverse Engineering
3D Scanning & Reverse Engineering
Turn Existing Parts into Usable Design Data
Recover useful engineering data from physical parts, scans, and legacy drawings. We plan the capture, rebuild editable CAD, compare critical features, and prepare documentation for replacement, improvement, or manufacturing review.
Service Scope
3D Scanning & Reverse Engineering Capabilities
Start with a physical part, scan data, or incomplete drawings. We define what needs to be captured, reconstruct the required geometry, and prepare models and drawings for your next engineering decision.
Scan Data Preparation
Align point clouds, clean meshes, and record areas requiring additional measurement or interpretation.
CAD Reconstruction
Rebuild useful surfaces and features from measured geometry, with design assumptions recorded.
Geometry Comparison
Compare reconstructed geometry with the supplied scan and review deviations at agreed locations.
Drawing Recovery
Document interfaces, dimensions, and manufacturing notes for review with your production team.
Part Updates
Assess worn features and proposed changes against the intended assembly and manufacturing route.
