Scan-Xpress provides component and assembly reverse engineering services. By using dedicated optical scanners and state-of-the-art reverse engineering software, our team can create CAD models and drawings from any physical component provided.
Applications
Creating a digital twin based on a physical component or assembly has many uses in design, engineering and manufacturing applications. Here are some areas of application:
- Re-create manufacturing data for an obsolete part;
- Reverse engineering or competitor product analysis;
- Digital archiving;
- Perform simulations and analyses.
Process
We perform a 3D scan of your object or you send us your data set
We perform data processing and digital twin creation
We deliver working 3D models and manufacturing drawings
Dedicated Scanners
Our team is equipped with a number of optical sensors in-house to deliver you precise models and drawings. Browse through our scanners below:
DELIVERABLE FILE FORMATS
Any raw data received or scan-data collected from your physical part, will be rendered into a 3D model then exported in the file format of your choice. We also have the ability to create manufacturing and assembly drawings.
Here are some CAD native file formats we commonly use:
- Geomagic Design X
- SOLIDWORKS
- CATIA
- Creo Parametric
Here are some 3D model transfer formats we often use:
- STEP
- IGES
- Parasolid
- AutoCAD DXF
