3D SCANNING AND REVERSE ENGINEERING
3D SCANNING AND REVERSE ENGINEERING
Why scan a 3D object?

No CAD data

Copy natural or artistic shapes

INSPECTION OF PARTS
Scan in 3D when the original CAD files do not exist
Manufactured parts can be scanned to produce an STL file for prototyping without the need for the original CAD geometry.
Example: Part of a classic car, remaking old castings or castings that have been damaged.
Hand crafted parts can be scanned to produce an STL file for prototyping. E.g. A clay model (Size dependant).



Inspection of Parts
Manufactured parts can be scanned to compare the physical part to the original CAD file. A colour map file can be produced to show the difference between the two parts.
Example – Inspection to see where tool modifications have been made to the original design or deviation is suspected.
Critical dimension can be taken but a CMM process might be more efficient for a large amount of dimension checks or checking multiple parts of the same design.
Example – Assembly components can be aligned in CAD to check for interference.
