What It Is
What is CAD & Reverse Engineering?
Reverse engineering takes a physical part or the raw data from a 3D scan and rebuilds it as a fully-featured CAD model, complete with accurate dimensions, proper geometry, and editable design features like holes, fillets, and threads.
This is different to a raw 3D scan on its own. A 3D scan produces a mesh: a surface made of thousands or millions of small triangles that approximates the shape of an object. A mesh is great for visual reference, measurement, and 3D printing, but it isn’t truly editable and carries no engineering intent no exact dimensions, no clean curves, no tolerances. Reverse engineering converts that raw data into a proper CAD model: an accurate, editable, manufacture-ready design rather than just a digital shape.
