Reverse Engineering
Traditional Reverse Engineering is the process of taking scan data from a physical object to create a robust CAD format consequently giving the capability to re-engineer (modify or update) the part.
Many companies approach 3D Scanners UK Ltd to reverse engineer parts because the cad for the original part does not exist. Other reasons for reverse engineering parts can be to develop the existing part further and increase manufacture and overall production times.
3D Scanners UK Ltd is the leading provider of an international Bureau service for non-contact digitising and surfacing.
Having had so many years experience using 3d scanners for reverse engineering, and having access to a wide range of systems, 3D Scanners UK Ltd know the most appropriate solution to use for the customers requirements. This in turn provides a flexible and cost efficient service for our customers, without the requirement to purchase costly equipment.
The model to the left is a polygon model.
The polygon model is used as a template to create a geometric solid model in SolidWorks.
A colourmap can then be used in PolyWorks to analyse deviation between the two models.
The model is then sent to the customer as an iges part or a Solidworks model.
Our team of highly trained specialists are committed to offering a fast, innovative and flexible reverse engineering service – tailored to each customers requirements.
