Reverse Engineering

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 deliver working 3D models and manufacturing drawings

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
