Easy Reverse Engineering Accelerates Design Process

Reverse engineering, also known as backward engineering, is a process of measuring a product and reconstruct it as a 3D model for product design when there is no original drawing available. Engineers analyze and research a target product to deduce its structures and functions. In this way, they can learn how the object works and recreate it or improve it with added enhancement. It is widely adopted for product design and optimization in the machinery, aerospace, and automotive industries. With the help of 3D scanners, you can easily create high-precision 3D models for reverse engineering.

Benefits

High-precision 3D solutions are designed for users across a wide range of sectors including, automotive, manufacturing, and mold, to save costs and time.

0.00 mm

Max Accuracy

Our 3D scanners can capture accurate 3D data with an accuracy of up to 0.02 mm due to their sophisticated algorithm. Paired with our software ScanViewer, these portable 3D scanners allow users to convert point clouds into 3D models such as vehicle models compatible with CAD software for further use. It is ideal to ensure that parts or manufactured can achieve the exact precision required.

0%

Non-destructive

Scantech 3D scanners enable designers, engineers, and manufacturers to conduct non-contact 3D measurements. By projecting laser beams onto the surface of parts, 3D scanners can obtain point clouds without contacting or altering the objects. Therefore, no potential harm will be caused to the objects to be measured.
