Reverse engineering and precision 3D scanning turn complex, legacy, or undocumented components into accurate, manufacture-ready CAD data.
Our Artec Leo handheld scanning services provide high-resolution, high-accuracy capture for detailed components and assemblies. Typical applications include:
- Reverse engineering of mechanical components
- Component redesign for local manufacturing
- Assembly spatial planning in constrained spaces
- Wear analysis and deformation assessment
Deliverables:
- High‑resolution meshes (OBJ, STL, PLY)
- Rebuilt parametric CAD (STEP, IGES) for design and fabrication
- Inspection/deviation reports with tolerances
Benefits:
- Fast, portable capture of fine geometry, even in tight access
- Clean, editable outputs—not just raw scans
Reverse Engineering — FAQs
Yes. Our Artec Leo handheld scanner captures a component’s geometry directly, allowing us to rebuild an accurate, manufacture-ready CAD model without needing original manufacturer drawings.
High-resolution mesh files (OBJ, STL, PLY) and rebuilt parametric CAD files (STEP, IGES) suitable for design and fabrication.
Our handheld scanning captures component geometry to within 0.3mm/m, suitable for manufacturing-grade tolerances.
Yes. The Artec Leo is a fast, portable handheld scanner well suited to detailed capture in constrained assemblies and tight spatial envelopes.
