Do we have to send you the physical part?

Usually, or we scan on your site. Where shipping is impossible we can work from a supplied point cloud or a fully dimensioned hand survey.

Is the output a mesh or a real CAD model?

A parametric solid with a readable feature tree. The mesh is the input, not the deliverable, native CAD and STEP are issued together.

Can you recover design intent from a worn part?

Yes. Wear, draft and casting variation are separated from intended geometry, and every assumption is listed in the report for your sign-off.

Can you improve the part while rebuilding it?

Wherever you want it improved, uprating material, correcting known failure points or adapting to a modern manufacturing route, all handled as documented changes.

What about parts under someone else's IP?

We only reverse engineer parts you own or are legally entitled to reproduce, and we ask for written confirmation before work starts.

INDEX / SVC.02 NPD / SVC.02.D · REVERSE ENGINEERING

Legacy parts, back under revision control.

Existing hardware measured, scanned and rebuilt as fully parametric CAD, clean feature trees, as-built drawings and STEP files for parts that never had a model, or lost it years ago.

CMM AND STRUCTURED-LIGHT CAPTURE TO PARAMETRIC CAD · AS-BUILT DRAWINGS AND CLEAN FEATURE TREES

.01Structured-Light & Laser ScanningFull-surface capture of complex and organic geometry, with reference targets and alignment planned before the first scan.

.02CMM & Hand Metrology CaptureDatums, bores and critical features measured on a CMM or by hand, never trusted to the mesh alone.

.03Point Cloud & Mesh Clean-UpNoise, dropout and fixture artefacts removed in Geomagic, with scans aligned and merged into one usable reference body.

.04Surface Reconstruction from Scan DataClass-A and functional surfaces rebuilt over the mesh, with curvature continuity checked rather than assumed.

.05Parametric Rebuild with Design IntentA solid model with a readable feature tree that reflects how the part is actually made, editable, not a frozen import.

.06As-Built Drawings & GD&TFully dimensioned drawings with datums and geometric tolerances, so the part can be re-manufactured and inspected against a real spec.

.07Material & Finish IdentificationAlloy, polymer grade, coating and surface finish identified and called up, with hardness and thickness checks where it matters.

.08Obsolete Part Redesign & UpratingKnown failure points corrected and materials or manufacturing routes modernised, each change documented for your sign-off.

PROCESS · FOUR CHECKPOINTS

How a legacy part gets a model

STEP.01

Capture

Parts scanned with structured light and verified on a CMM, with datums and critical features measured by hand before modelling starts.

STEP.02

Reconstruct

Mesh cleaned and aligned in Geomagic, then rebuilt as a parametric solid with a feature tree that matches how the part is made.

STEP.03

Verify

The model is deviation-mapped back against the scan to an agreed tolerance, and out-of-spec areas are reported, not quietly smoothed.

STEP.04

Issue

Native CAD, STEP, as-built drawings with GD&T and the deviation report, everything needed to re-manufacture or revise the part.

RFI LOG · MOST FREQUENT QUESTIONS

Before you ask

Structured-light capture typically lands within 30 to 50 microns on rigid parts, and critical datums, bores and threads are verified on a CMM before the model is built.
