Reverse Engineering Services
WE REVERSE ENGINEER PARTS
We provide a complete reverse engineering workflow for those instances when you have parts without CAD data or drawings. We can convert your physical object into CAD data, modify dimensions, create drawings, and even 3D print duplicates or modified versions.
THE REVERSE ENGINEERING PROCESS
This is the basic process used to reverse engineer a physical part.
1 – 3D Scan A Physical Part
2 – Convert Raw Data to Mesh
3 – Use mesh to rebuild in CAD
4 – Verify CAD to Mesh Deviation
Data output formats
Our reverse engineering services have many types of deliverables. We’ll output the format that fits your needs. Here are a few examples.
- STEP – General CAD data exchange format
- IGES – General CAD data exchange format
- PDF – We create technical drawings of the reverse engineered part
- SolidWorks – Standard SolidWorks project file with feature tree
- STL – Standard 3D file format – Useful if you want us to 3d scan, repair, and output a 3D printable or machineable file
