Missing CAD information? Reverse engineering can fill in the gaps.
The design of many aged assets is detailed only by original documentation that has suffered through the passage of time or of course the process of multiple low-definition photocopy operations. 3D scanning is the most efficient and accurate method of replacing the original documentation with reference to the existing hardware.
Reverse engineering is commonly interpreted as the process of reproducing an item for which no manufacturing information exists. At Viewport3 and in the context of physical objects, we define reverse-engineering as the act of taking dimensions from physical objects – the opposite of traditional engineering whereby dimensions are given to physical objects.
Missing CAD (Computer Aided Design) information can be a real headache to your ongoing engineering operations. Where attempts to find and obtain such documentation ultimately fail, 3D scanning can be relied upon to fill in the gaps by creating a precise copy of the hardware in question, saving significant amounts of time and resources.
We have provided data on multiple occasions that provide the accuracy and reliability needed to allow your machine-shop or fabrication partners to manufacture a solution or replace damaged / missing parts. From the smallest bushing to the largest template or manifold, the value of reverse engineering has helped many of our customers keep their operations on track.
We’ve deployed the immense power of modern 3D reverse engineering to help our clients solve the most complex of geometrical challenges. Remove the question marks, the doubts, and the ‘on-hold’ status from your engineering campaigns by deploying our proven and trusted 3D scanning and CAD replacement services.
