Laser Scanning and Reverse Engineering

Using state of the art Laser scanning equipment Trac Measurement Systems are capable of capturing highly accurate point cloud data which can be used for a variety of applications. Reverse engineering has become a standard procedure for engineers in a wide range of markets. The technique can be used in product development, production engineering, cost down programs and refurbishment of components. In situations where the engineer has only 2D data or no drawing at all, Trac will scan the component and generate a solid CAD model. The file can then be used to modify or manufacture the component. STL files can also be produced to allow the production of rapid prototypes and prototype castings.

Deviation Analysis
Laser scanning post production inspection and analysis is a new and powerful tool for design and manufacture comparison. Trac use software that allows the comparison of the actual part to the Nominal CAD model, in addition to part to part analysis.

Various surfacing techniques are used to accurately reverse engineer the data. A closed solid file is then delivered in the required format.

A wide variety of comparison tools can be used for measurement and analysis including:

Full part to nominal comparison
Continuous or discrete tolerance settings
Point to point measurement
Wall thickness inspection

We can also offer a wide range of services including:

Rapid Prototyping
Wear and degradation analysis
Manufacturing direct from scan data
