Reverse Engineering & Scan-to-CAD

Reconstructing existing components and products into structured, editable CAD from 3D scan data, reference geometry, drawings, measurements, or physical parts.

From Existing Geometry to Usable CAD

Reverse engineering converts existing physical or digital reference data into structured CAD that can be modified, developed, documented, and used for further engineering or manufacturing. Depending on the project, we can work from 3D scans, mesh data, drawings, measurements, existing CAD, or physical reference parts.

What We Offer

Scan-to-CAD

Convert 3D scan and mesh data into structured CAD geometry suitable for further design, engineering, modification, or manufacturing.

CAD Reconstruction

Recreate components and products from existing parts, reference geometry, measurements, drawings, or incomplete CAD data.

Surface Reconstruction

Reconstruct complex freeform and technical surfaces from reference or scan data while maintaining appropriate surface quality and design intent.

Legacy & Replacement Parts

Recreate outdated, damaged, or unavailable components to support replacement, redesign, modification, or further product development.

Engineering the Geometry, Not Just Copying It

Our approach goes beyond reproducing visible geometry. We consider design intent, functional interfaces, component relationships, manufacturing requirements, and future modification needs to create CAD that can actually be used in an engineering workflow.

Reverse Engineering Applications

Product Modification

Reconstruct existing products or components so they can be modified, improved, or adapted to new requirements.

Replacement Components

Create CAD for obsolete, damaged, unavailable, or undocumented components and parts.

Design Verification

Compare reconstructed CAD against reference geometry, scan data, measurements, or existing components during development.

Product Development

Use existing physical products or reference geometry as a starting point for redesign, improvement, adaptation, or new product development.

Typical Workflow

Reference data & requirements → Scan / mesh / geometry analysis → Coordinate alignment & feature identification → CAD reconstruction → Surface & solid development → Design refinement → Engineering checks → Final CAD data
