Reverse Engineering

A range of 3D scanning technologies is used to capture millions of points defining the geometric features of an object. The raw scanning data is referred to as a “Point Cloud”, which can be used for taking measurements. This point cloud serves as a guide for quality control or for creating a CAD model.

Mesh Model Creation: Unless the project requires creating a model directly from the point cloud, the next step is to generate the mesh model.
CAD Model Creation: The mesh or point cloud is used as a guide to create the CAD model.

Applications:

• Creating a 3D model of a physical part with missing documentation

• Extracting 2D / 3D documentation

• Maintaining a digital 3D record of your own products

• Performing deformation analysis on worn parts

• Analyzing the functionality of a product

• Examining and comparing real geometry with the CAD model
