3D Capture
Digitally record the shape of small components and provide a three-dimensional geometry basis.
3D Scanning & Reverse Engineering
Digitize existing components and turn them into a usable technical basis.
Small technical parts are captured in 3D and digitally processed. The resulting geometry can be used for reverse engineering, CAD reconstruction, spare-part reproduction or targeted design modifications.
Request 3D scanningTypical applications
From an existing part to useful 3D data.
- Digitize discontinued or unavailable spare parts
- Capture geometry as a basis for CAD reconstruction
- Record existing parts for design changes and optimisation
- Digitally document prototypes, samples and small-series components
- Prepare parts for reverse engineering and spare-part reproduction
- Combine scan data with manually verified functional dimensions
What you can get
From scan data to an editable CAD model.
Depending on the project, the scan data can be cleaned for further use or the existing geometry can be reconstructed in CAD. The goal is not merely to capture a surface, but to create technically useful data for the next project step.
Data Processing
Clean, align and prepare scan data for downstream engineering work.
Reverse Engineering
Understand existing geometry and functional areas as a basis for adaptation, improvement or reproduction.
CAD Reconstruction
Where required, create a clean and editable CAD model using scan data, verified dimensions and technical requirements.
Typical workflow
Review the part
The original component, size, surface and required output are assessed first.
Capture the part
The component is recorded in 3D from multiple views.
Process the scan
The captured data is combined, cleaned and aligned.
Verify dimensions
Functional dimensions, fits and critical geometry are checked separately.
CAD / production
Depending on the project, the result is processed scan data, an editable CAD model or a reproduced part.
Data & output
The output format depends on how the data will be used.
- Processed surface or mesh data, for example STL or OBJ
- Reconstructed CAD geometry, project-dependent, for example STEP / STP
- Data prepared for 3D printing, engineering or technical modification
- Optional combination of digitization, CAD reconstruction and manufacturing
