REVERSE ENGINEERING |
|||
 |
The CETL has an extensive range of reverse engineering capabilities, including 3D scanning, contact digitizing and the required software for creating CAD models from scan data. | 3D Scanning: | |
Konica-Minolta Vivid 910 Creaform MAXSCAN & EXASCAN |
|||
| Contact Digitizing: | |||
| MicroScribe MX 3D digitizer & HighRES software | |||
| Reverse Engineering: | |||
RapidForm XOR Geomagic Studio & Qualify |

EXAMPLE PARTS |
|||
 |
A hand-laid composite engine cover is shown to the left. The processed scan data to the lower left and the created surface model in the lower middle. A scaled-down model was then built on the ZPrinter and is shown in the lower right. | ||

 |
|
| Scan data of a legacy casting is shown on the left, the CAD model to the right. The objective was to create an STL file for a modeling study, but no CAD data existed. |  |
