What Is the Procedure Of 3D Scanning Reverse Engineering?

3D scanning helps to measure the physical shapes of any object in digital form. To make a digital design from the physical object, reverse engineering is the best process. It is one of the best tools in your toolkit along with 3D scanning. Here are some important steps included in this process:

1) Compose the Object: - For scanning, it is essential to prepare the object. For example:

• Use short-term matte powder to spray over the object and get accurate results.
• Without this matte powder, it is not possible to get accurate results.
• It also enhances the 3D scanning process.

2) 3D Scanning: - Now, it is time to scan the object with 3D scanners as follows:

 

• Scanners should be of high accuracy.
• Laser scanners are the best choice for them.
• However, one can also go with tabletop structure light in the absence of laser scanners.

3) Clear the Mesh: - Many scanners generate wide mesh files that slow down the workings. So, it is essential to clear the mesh. In this regard, one can go with scanner software that helps to make the data more reliable and manageable.

4) Send Mesh Files to CAD: - It is very important to transfer mesh files to CAD that can be done through reverse engineering tools.

• It helps to enhance the scanning process.
• In this step, mesh files will move and rotate to the saved design components.
• It is better to choose Geomagic or Xtract3D for organic shapes and resurfacing complexes.

5) Take out Essential Surface: - With the help of three ways, one can take out the important surface to the scan like:

• Semi-automatic surfacing
• Automatic surfacing
• Redrawing 

Conclusion

3D scanning reverse engineering is the best tool to re-create a digital design of any physical object. After In the above 5 steps, you can get a new 3D design of the object in last.
