Reverse engineering is a process we use to generate a drawing of an existing custom component when the original drawings are no longer available. We start by taking precise measurements of the workpiece using an Optical Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM), Probe type measuring machine, or precision Faro measuring arm. Once all data points are established, our engineers convert this data into dimensional manufacturing drawings or 3D Solidworks models.
Our state-of-the-art reverse engineering equipment includes:
Optical Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM) - This piece of equipment is a non-contact measuring machine excellent for reverse engineering existing workpieces when drawings are not available. Measuring accuracies are rated to a range of .00020". Maximum measuring envelope is 60" x 48" x 6".
Probe Style CMM - This piece of measuring equipment is a contact measuring machine used for reverse engineering component parts and assemblies. Measuring accuracies are rated to 4.9 = 5L/1000um. Maximum measuring envelope is 47.25"x 118.11"x 39.37".
Faro Measuring Arm (CMM) - This piece of equipment is a 6-axis measuring arm used for reverse engineering fabricated assemblies which do not fit on the Probe style CMM. Volumetric Accuracy is rated at +/- .0009". Maximum measuring envelope is 72" x 72" x 72"
