The Process of 3D Reverse Engineering

Project Initiation Design Finalization Pre-Execution Planning Model Fabrication Finishing & Quality Control Quality control checks Final Delivery & Project Closure
01.

Project Initiation

The first step of the process begins with reviews and approval of the quotation, then we proceed by issuing the Purchase Order (PO) to the client, and after that client releases advance payment to initiate the project.

02.

Design Finalization

At step two of our process, we review and modify the 3D model, only if it's needed. After modifications, we share the final 3D model with the client for approval.

03.

Pre-Execution Planning

Then we proceed with the confirmation of painting details, colors, finishes, or any sticker/branding requirements. After that, we begin the preparation of the Bill of Materials (BOM) execution sheet, incorporating all design and finish specifications; without BOM sheet approval, execution or procurement is not possible.

04.

Model Fabrication

At the fourth stage, there is the execution of the miniature model-making process using approved 3D files and BOM.

05.

Finishing & Quality Control

After execution, we begin with the assembly and post-processing (sanding, painting, decals, etc).

06.

Quality Control Checks

The next stage is to send the model for pre-dispatch review to the client for approval. We provide both of the methods for reviews ( online and offline)

07.

Final Delivery & Project Closure

The last stage comes with the final dispatch of the completed model. We then collect the feedback and make changes if any. Then comes the closure of the PO upon final approval and delivery, and the remaining payment gets cleared at this stage.

When Do You Need
3D Reverse Engineering Services?

When there is no original CAD data exists - The part is old, custom-made, or the original design files are lost, damaged, or were never created digitally.

When you want to improve a part - You have a part that works but needs design modifications for better performance, new features, or different materials.

When you need a legacy equipment repair or replacement - A critical machine/device is down because a part is broken and is no longer manufactured.

For competitive product analysis - You want to understand how a competitor's product is designed and manufactured to develop your own designs.

When the parts are damaged - A part is too damaged to measure by hand, but 3D scanning can capture its intact geometry to recreate it.

To create a digital twin - You want to preserve the precise design of a part, tool, or even a historical artifact for future reproduction or reference.

Why Do You Need Reverse Engineering?

Restore legacy parts accurately, even without technical drawings.

Analyze and improve your designs for functionality, durability, and efficiency.

Convert the hand-crafted molds or aging parts into digital models.

Get precise part documentation for government and quality compliance.

Receive nominal CAD models to inspect manufactured parts, detect deviations, and improve overall production accuracy.

Get perfectly fitting molds from any object to minimize prototyping and tooling costs.

Frequently Asked
Questions Answered

Have any other questions?
What accuracy can be achieved through reverse engineering?

While our systems are capable of ±0.05 mm accuracy, the final achievable tolerance is project-specific. It is influenced by the part's size, geometric complexity, surface finish, and material.

Which deliverables do I receive?

STEP, IGES and STL

Can you handle complex or damaged components?

Yes. We specialize in repairing missing surfaces and reverse-modelling damaged areas to original specifications.
