Scanning · Reconstruction · Editable CAD

Reverse engineering

We turn physical parts into editable CAD models for maintenance, redesign, documentation and manufacturing. The workflow combines 3D capture, surface reconstruction and geometric validation against the actual reference.

Editable CAD

Parametric models ready for modification, documentation and manufacturing.

STEP · IGES

Neutral formats compatible with the leading CAD and CAM environments.

CAD ↔ cloud

Validation of the reconstructed model against the original capture data.

Service scope

Capabilities, applications and deliverables

We define the technical workflow based on the geometry, the functional requirements and the level of validation the project needs.

Reconstruction

Process and compatibility

  • Input from a physical part, point cloud, mesh or available documentation.
  • Reconstruction of NURBS surfaces and solids with a feature tree when the scope allows.
  • Definition of functional geometry, references, symmetries and manufacturing features.
  • Export to STEP, IGES or other formats agreed with the client.

Outcome

Applications and deliverables

  • Spare parts for components with no drawing or incomplete documentation.
  • Part redesign for new materials, processes or operating conditions.
  • Adapting geometry to existing assemblies.
  • CAD model, derived files and a basic deviation report where applicable.

Applications

Where it adds value

The final setup is tailored to the industry, the part's use and the project's acceptance criteria.

Maintenance

Spare parts without drawings

Recover the geometry of obsolete or undocumented components.

Redesign

Product improvement

Adjust features, materials and processes from an editable CAD baseline.

Integration

Assembly adaptation

Design interfaces and components compatible with existing equipment.

Process

A controlled workflow from start to finish

Each stage produces verifiable information to reduce rework and keep technical decisions traceable.

  1. 01

    Capture

    We digitize the part or review the available mesh and information.

  2. 02

    Reconstruction

    We define surfaces, solids and functional features.

  3. 03

    Validation

    We compare the CAD against the reference and correct relevant deviations.

  4. 04

    Release

    We deliver editable formats and files ready for the next process.
