Reverse engineering turns a physical part into an editable CAD model. Delta Scan scans machine parts, gears, housings and castings with structured-light and LiDAR scanners, rebuilds the geometry as parametric CAD, checks the model against the scan with a deviation map, and delivers STEP, STL and drawings ready for CNC machining, casting or 3D printing.
Reverse engineering turns a physical part back into a digital model that can be modified, manufactured or archived. The need is the same across every workshop and plant: a pump impeller, gearbox housing or custom bracket fails on equipment whose manufacturer no longer exists, a casting arrives on site with no drawing behind it, or a part that works well needs to be replicated, lightened or made in a different material. In each case the starting point is the part in your hand, not a drawing.
Delta Scan reverse engineers parts and components as an engineering-led service, not a scanning-only one. Small and medium parts are captured on the bench with handheld structured-light scanning, which resolves fine detail that laser scanners built for buildings cannot. Larger assemblies are scanned in place with LiDAR. The scan is rebuilt as clean parametric CAD, compared back to the scan as a deviation map, and delivered as manufacturing-ready files for CNC machining, casting, fabrication and 3D printing. Where a part is damaged or worn, the model is corrected to the design intent rather than copying the damage.
