When to choose 3D scanning and reverse engineering, and why?

3D scanning and reverse engineering (RE) can be used for virtually all products, parts, and components. After reverse engineering, the 3D model can be modified according to the customer's wishes and needs.
, we can fill in the missing parts and optimize the structure, even if the original part is missing pieces/parts or is damaged.

After scanning and reverse engineering, we create an accurate and editable 3D model that can be used directly in 3D printing or other manufacturing processes.

Best of all, you don't need the original drawings!

Here are a few examples of where 3D scanning and reverse engineering can be used:

  1. Industry – broken parts back in use quickly
    When a production line stops because of a broken part, every hour counts. We scan the old part – even if pieces are missing – and reverse engineer a new, functional version. If necessary, we optimize the structure to make it more durable than the original. Manufacturing is quick and does not require large batches.
  2. Automotive industry – parts that are no longer manufactured
    The production of spare parts for many car models ends just 10 years after manufacture. We scan the original part, model it digitally, and manufacture a new one – without factory drawings. The 3D service process also works great for hobby cars and classics.
  3. Motorsport – customized parts
    A tuned engine requires customized parts. We scan the existing part/component, model and modify it according to your wishes, and optimize its performance, weight, or durability. If necessary, we add reinforcements or lighten the structures – all according to your wishes.
  4. Private individuals – when you need a part that cannot be found in stores
    Do you have an old device, boat, or even hobby equipment for which you cannot find spare parts? No worries. With our 3D service process, we can make you a new product in no time. The product can also be modified and improved as needed. 3D scanning and reverse engineering save time, money, and effort.
