with 3D scanners
Reverse engineering aims at analyzing and understanding the design of an existing product in order to create a copy, make improvements, or solve problems. In the case of mechanical parts, reverse engineering is often necessary due to the absence of plans or CAD models. The use of a 3D scanner and a measuring arm can be highly advantageous in the reverse engineering process.
Reverse engineering a mechanical part involves several steps to understand its design and create an accurate 3D model. Here are the general steps of a reverse engineering process:
By using a Kreon 3D scanner and a measuring arm for reverse engineering, you can benefit from the speed and precision of the 3D scanner to capture complex geometry, as well as the dimensional accuracy and flexibility of the measuring arm for precise measurements. This combination enables a comprehensive and accurate evaluation of parts and quick decision-making to ensure compliance with specifications.
