Reverse Engineering of a casted metal part

Scanning in combination with Reverse Engineering

To reproduce this part, we made an optical 3D scan and used it as a reference for reverse engineering a new CAD model.

We used a geometric modelling approach.

Process: step by step

Process

  • Spraying of the part with water based anti-reflex spray
  • Scanning in “free state”.
  • Digitizing of the top and bottom

Technology

  • GOM Atos III Triple scan with a 320MV (measuring volume)
  • Automatic rotation table

Post-processing

  • Alignment in the world coordinate system using the main features of the part.

Feel free to download our scan and check the quality for yourself.

The stl file is packaged in a zip file, so you will need to unzip it before you can view the file.
