Reverse Engineering Applications

With a shift toward digital manufacturing, more and more companies are investing in 3D CAD software to provide the most accurate dimensional data for parts, assemblies and master tools. However, very often, manufactured components exist for which the 3D model is out of date or non-existent. Digital reverse engineering is the ideal solution for creating accurate 3D digital models.

With simple-to-use yet powerful utilities, Build!IT is a single platform that guides the user through each step of the reverse engineering process from scanning and processing point data to 3D model construction and editing. Comprehensive geometry creation utilities allow you to save directly to CAD file formats, directly complementing in-house CAD systems.

Build!IT has been used to produce reverse engineered geometries for many demanding industrial applications:

  • Mechanical components and assemblies
  • Molds and stamping dies including the capturing of hand-worked changes to tools
  • Assembly, lay-up and welding fixtures and tooling
  • Drilling and trimming tools for composite panels
  • Digitizing complex freeform shapes from prototypes.
