REVERSE ENGINEERING

From physical part to manufacturing-ready data.
 
When drawings, CAD data or original suppliers are no longer available, we reconstruct existing components and create the technical data required for reproduction.

FROM PART TO DATA

Our process. Your solution.

A structured and transparent process to turn existing components into accurate, manufacturing-ready data.

reverse_engineering_01_physical_part
Initial Situation

An existing component, but no (digital) technical information available.

reverse_engineering_02_3d_scanning
3D Scanning

The geometry is captured using a 3D scan, including internal surfaces by CT scanning if necessary.

reverse_engineering_03_surface_mesh
Surface Model

The scan data is converted into a mesh.

reverse_engineering_04_remodelling
Re-Modelling & Digital Measurement

Complete closure of the mesh and measurement of the relevant dimensions.

reverse_engineering_05_cad_model
Solid Model (Parametric)

The mesh is converted into an editable CAD solid model.

reverse_engineering_06_technical_drawings
Technical Drawings

Datums, dimensions and tolerances ensure manufacturability.

SELECTED PROJECT

Critical Components in Nuclear Industry

We reconstructed critical spare parts for a nuclear power plant where technical documentation was missing or outdated. Existing components were captured by high-precision 3D scanning and converted into accurate CAD models and manufacturing-ready drawings with all relevant dimensions and tolerances. The resulting digital product data enables reliable reproduction of unavailable spare parts, supports maintenance planning and gradually builds a digital library of critical components.
