REVERSE ENGINEERING & 3D SCANNING
Reverse engineering is a process which involves taking a product and working backward through the original design process to extract information in order to recreate, or replicate the product. This process is used in various markets including software, machines, aircraft, and architectural structures. Often reverse engineering, also referred to as back engineering, involves deconstructing individual components of larger products.
The reverse engineering process most often used when limited knowledge about the engineering methods that went into creating the product. For instance, a vintage car component needs replacing, and the original manufacturer discontinued the part; 3D Restoration’s team specializes in this technology and utilizes reverse engineering to recreate that part you need – any part! 3D scanning technology is also used to find the exact dimensions, tolerances, and techniques used are much easier, making the success of the replacement part even greater.
NEED CUSTOM REPLACEMENT OR REPLICATED PARTS?
3D Restoration offers services required to complete the reverse engineering process to meet your project needs. From initial stages of researching the product, we will use our 3D scanning technology to find the dimensions and tolerances of the desired part. From that scan, we will produce a 3D mold to give you the exact model of what your part will look and feel like. Once our team has perfected the part to your specifications, we can then produce the components in-house utilizing any of our manufacturing methods – thermoforming, casting, injection mold, or with our state-of-the-art machines. Contact us today to find out how we can best solve your part challenges in need of reverse engineering.
