Reverse Design
Reverse engineering involves creating a 3D CAD model based on data obtained from existing parts or product prototypes. With the widespread adoption of machine vision technology in manufacturing—and particularly driven by the rapid advancements in digital measurement—using 3D scanning to capture spatial data of an object’s surface has become a key application area for reverse engineering, enabling innovative product design and development. The AlphaScan handheld 3D scanner excels in this field, leveraging high-precision 3D data acquisition and AI-powered intelligent processing to swiftly generate accurate 3D models of objects. This capability provides a robust data foundation for product replication, design optimization, and creative innovation. Typically, reverse engineering with AlphaScan follows these steps:
Our strengths
Metrology-grade precision guaranteed
A measurement accuracy of 0.020 mm can capture even the finest details of an object, ensuring high fidelity in reverse engineering models.
Fast and efficient
The process from scanning to generating usable data is highly efficient, enabling real-time preview and initial processing. AI algorithms significantly accelerate data handling and stitching, dramatically reducing the reverse engineering cycle time.
Multi-scenario adaptability
The portable, handheld design enables in-situ scanning of large, stationary equipment directly at the worksite; its multiple laser modes and robust anti-interference capabilities ensure reliable performance even when tackling complex curved surfaces, deep holes, and challenging workshop environments.
Low threshold, low cost
Simple operation paired with comprehensive training makes the equipment highly cost-effective, lowering the barrier for businesses to adopt high-precision reverse engineering technology.
