Reverse Engineering

We convert 3D scans, mesh files, and point clouds into production-ready CAD data, native to the software your team already uses.

  • Native CAD files with full construction history
  • STL → STEP / IGES conversion
  • Parametric or volume data, by request
  • Legacy part digitization, product redesign, tool manufacturing support
Parametric Data

For direct import into your CAD system, we offer parametric data. Native CAD data is available in the following programs, each built with full parametric history, so individual geometric elements of the scanned part can be changed constructively in your own data format.
