3D Scanning & Reverse Engineering:
Industrial Casing

Case Study

3D Scanning the casing

The casing required 3D scanning in two parts, and each part was 3D scanned front and back ready for rebuilding in SolidWorks.

3D Scanning

The 3D scanning was carried out at our London HQ. Each 3D scan was cleaned up in VX Model and CAD entities were created using the mesh as a master. These entities were ready to be imported into Solid Works for reverse engineering.

Reverse Engineering
The client required a Solid Works model so we used the 3D scan and measuring calipers to ensure the model would be as accurate as possible.
