Reverse Engineering
Creating a 3D model based on the physical component
If you have no design engineering data for your component or if you want to evaluate a specific component based on the level of wear, our engineers will use reverse engineering. This starts with measuring the component either with a 3D scanner or with tactile measuring. This is followed by the generation of the STEP file using a CAD/CAM program so your component can be 3D printed.
Our services
- Tactile or optical measurement of your component
- Part measurement using a 3D scanner
- Creation of a 3D model using a CAx-software
- Production-ready design and industrial 3D printing of your component
Our approach
- Part measurement
Measurement of the component using a 3D scanner or tactile method - Processing of the measurement data
Linking the measuring points into geometric shapes and creating a mesh model in .STL-format - Surface and volume recovery
The individual component surfaces are defined and then combined and connected. The resulting surfaces are then transferred into component volumes - Part optimization (if required)
Adjustment of the construction data if the original part is to be improved, e.g. structurally, or to implement an extended functionality - Data backup
The determined part data are now saved in a 3D software (CAD-/CAM-programs) - 3D printing
Finalization of the production-ready design and 3D printing of your component
