Reverse engineering and 3D laser scanning
Reverse engineering is the process of reproducing an element by extracting surfaces or sketches from a scanned point cloud or mesh to create a CAD model. The product reflects how it was originally designed. Reverse engineering is becoming a more popular method of creating a 3D model of a part that does not have previous CAD files. This process has saved many professionals and companies time and costs, as well as an increase in quality in design processes and time to market. L
