From Physical to Digital, Step by Step

Part to be 3D scanned for reverse engineering
01Scanning

1. Micrometric Capture: We extract an exact point cloud of the part's real state, with laboratory-level precision.

CAD software interface to convert point cloud to solid model
02Reconstruction

2. Parametric Modelling: We convert the data into editable solid models (STEP, IGES), respecting the original GD&T.

Colour map of deviation between reconstructed CAD and original scan
03Validation

3. Deviation Control: We superimpose the new CAD onto the original scan to ensure 100% conformity before machining.

// Perguntas Frequentes

Engenharia Inversa: FAQ

Of the physical part only. Our team is responsible for performing high-resolution 3D scanning and subsequent CAD reconstruction, delivering the final file ready to use.
Yes. As we deliver parametric models (editable solids), the geometry can be perfectly altered, optimised or reinforced compared to the original design before manufacturing.
Absolutely. We scan the mould in its current state and reconstruct the surfaces in CAD, virtually correcting the wear suffered so that you can machine a new component with perfect original dimensions.
