Metrology and Reverse Engineering

Metrology and reverse engineering tools are used to shorten the design cycle, minimize scrap, improve fit and finish, and provide complete information on interior and exterior surfaces. 

Applications include:

  • Competitive evaluation
  • First article and tool verification
  • CAD model of legacy parts
  • Dimensional conformity
  • Copy of part with no original design
  • Aesthetic design digitizing a wooden or clay model
