D. Wellman Surveying - Reverse Engineering

D. Wellman Surveying, full service land surveying & 3D scanning.

Reverse Engineering

Reverse engineering captures the geometry of existing physical objects. Then the scanned data becomes the foundation for designing something new. The new design can be a duplicate of the original or a new adaptation. The scanner generated point cloud can be manipulated in 3D surfacing software and then sent to a rapid prototyping machine to be built, using typical file formats such as STL, IGES, or NURBS.

Typical applications include:

Surfaces created from point cloud data
CNC coding services
Creating CAD files from previously handmade parts, tools and dies
Developing new tools and dies from existing molds and dies
Resizing and duplicating prototype models
Creating replicas of artifacts or artwork
Creating scale hard copy models of topography for landscape miniatures
