REVERSE ENGINEERING
Reverse engineering is an important step to extract the design data from a finished component (CAD model). The component first needs to be scanned. It doesn’t matter whether the data is captured using a ZEISS KMG, CT, optical sensor or even a third-party machine. Next, the point clouds (all ASCII formats) or meshes (STL data) are imported to ZEISS REVERSE ENGINEERING. The point clouds or meshes (STL data) can be processed there thanks to a variety of effective functions. In just a few steps, you will have a watertight CAD model that can be exported to standard CAD formats.
