Reverse engineering is the process of generating a digital model from existing physical objects.
In recent years, reverse engineering has been seen as a time-consuming engineering process, generally demanding highly skilled resources. As a consequence, cost savings and tight lead times are some of the main prerequisites in reverse engineering. In the intensively competitive global market, industrial designers are seeking new ways to shorten lead times to develop a product.
Kreon provides solutions that make it possible to reduce development costs and processing time involved with reverse engineering parts with complex geometry.
Using Kreon Zephyr scanners, operators can scan parts from different orientations and then merge the different point clouds before rotating them back into a common coordinate system. The stylish surfaces that are demanded in automotive body design and manufacturing of consumer products can be created in little time. Using Keon scanners makes it possible to obtain accurate CAD data from clay models.
Virtually any object can be quickly captured in digital format, re-modelled and exported for rapid prototyping, tooling and manufacturing.
The portability of Kreon solutions makes it possible to bring the scanners to the part, and to measure in situ very fragile parts.
Application possibilities are limitless, from recreation or evolution of the original design aesthetics of industrial parts manufactured before the digital age to heritage applications where works of arts can be preserved and recreated using Kreon’s non-contact measurement capabilities.
Kreon scanners can also be used for medical reconstruction applications.
