Reverse engineering deliverables
- Point cloud data – color or non-color – PTS, PTX, XYZ
- 3D Surface model –IGES, STEP
- Hybrid CAD model (surfaces and solids) – IGES, STEP, Parasolid, SolidWorks
- Drawings
- Animations
Benefits of 3D Scanning for Reverse Engineering
- Very accurate method of capturing a physical part – up to 15 microns (.015mm /.00059”) accuracy
- Capture complex and organic shapes quickly
- Non-contact methods ensure the accuracy and integrity of the data captured.
- Much faster method of generating surface and solid models
- Modify an existing design from 3D Scan data
- Design parts to fit up to or integrate with an existing object
- Capture hundreds of pipe segments with a single scan in mere minutes
- Scan from anywhere using a tripod-mounted scanner
- Extended reach of up to 1000 ft
- Scan indoor or outdoor
- Safe for use around people
- Zero interruption to your operation
