3D Scanning & Reverse Engineering

Whether in your facility or at our site CMM can scan simple to complex parts and create a 3d CAD model for you. If you're having trouble inspecting, analyzing and reverse engineering complex and free-form physical objects, we provide the solutions with our 3D laser scanning services. Through the use of our laser scanning equipment and software we can provide you with an accurate 3d CAD model of your part that can be used for reverse engineering.

Here at CMM, we boast of advanced laser scanning equipment that helps us provide precise measurements and results for your inspection projects. Our laser scanning service attempts to answer all your inspection needs in various areas such as die prototype optimization and object rescaling.

What is Reverse Engineering?
More often than not a laser scanner is mounted on a fixed machine or an articulating arm. The laser scanner captures the shape of the object being scanned. Once this is complete the scan data is fed to a software package that can create a 3d Cad model. The process of Reverse Engineering has proven to be invaluable in the manufacturing of one-a kind products (such as parts for rare cars), parts without cad data and replacement parts with no traceable history (legacy part) to name a few examples.

Whether reverse engineering or measuring relative to a CAD nominal, CMM has the ability to solve your most complex free-form problems with our state-of-the-art laser and optical systems. We can help solve your product development issues.

Our Scanning Services include:

• Rapid point cloud collection
• Product development and evolution
• Actual versus CAD nominal
• Die prototype optimization
• Legacy part surfacing
• Golden templates (from multiple prototypes)
• Reverse Engineering
• Production part variations and analysis link to inspecting the core of a prototype.
• Turbine blade inspection and analysis
• Flush & gap/profile gauging
• Object rescaling
