Just as an inquisitive mind may look at a machine and wonder how it operates, reverse engineering analyzes a device in order to learn details of design, construction, and operation – it’s often used to produce a copy or an improved version of the original. The process has evolved to encompass multiple applications including the [...]

The Expansive Realm of 3D Scanning
The process of 3D scanning might seem sophisticated, and it is; however, the benefits of its capabilities are even more elaborate. 3D scanning technology has helped advance the fields of construction and civil engineering, entertainment, reverse engineering, historical preservation and medical technology.
In construction and civil engineering, 3D scanning allows architects and engineers to build models [...]
Artifacts are Preserved in Permanent and Accurate Digitized Models
With the means of reverse engineering and 3D scanning, it is now easier and more important than ever to preserve historical artifacts and structures.
Ancient ruins, Egyptian sculptures and old, Aztec artifacts are vital parts of our historical records and it is increasingly important to preserve them for our future generations to see and learn from. [...]
An Intro to Reverse Engineering
When you do not have the necessary CAD data to create an essential part, you will need to go through the process of reverse engineering in order to furnish a replica. Thanks to modern technology, this process has become much more widely available and affordable. The diverse range of reverse engineering applications now encompasses a [...]
3D Scanning Guarantees Accurate Contract Inspection
When it comes to production, it’s the pieces that are produced that need to be perfect, not just the original design model. Mistakes happen in the production process, but they can cost your company exponentially if they aren’t caught. Contract inspection needs to be done not only on the prototype, but the very pieces that [...]
3D Scanning Delivers Accuracy Conveniently
No matter what you want scanned, 3D scanning can do it. Laser scanning can be widely used on any size object for any purpose, whether you need dimensional inspection, reverse engineering, CT scanning, laser tracking or product design. Lasers offer portability, making it possible to scan large objects without relocating the objects.
That’s one reason why [...]
Laser Scanning Has Many Uses and Possibilities in Reverse Engineering
Lasers used for reverse engineering can be used for multiple purposes and have several advantages. There are two major steps in the process- scanning and data manipulation. Lasers make it possible to scan any object, whether it be the size of a power plant or a mine deep within the ground, a fragile artifact of [...]
Locating a High Quality Contract Inspection Provider
Does your business need the help of a contract inspection service, but you do not know which one is both reputable and affordable? Do you know what to look for when comparing one contract inspection service to another? When it comes to contract inspection you want to select a business that has a long established [...]
3D Scanner Options
When it comes to 3D scanning, there are a number of options that your business can take advantage of out side of having to purchase your own scanning equipment in order to meet your scanning needs. If you happen to own a smaller or mid-size business, you may not be interested in purchasing your own [...]
Reverse Engineering and the Aerospace Industry
Reverse engineering has become an integral process within the aerospace community. It has significantly cut down on the amount of time that was necessary to remanufacture existing parts and it has also greatly increased the functionality of integral components. The aerospace industry includes both airplanes and helicopters; both have which benefited tremendously from the process [...]
