Q & A

Q.  What is the turn around time for a Reverse Engineering project?

A.  The time requirement is based off of the complexity of the part being Reverse Engineered. A typical punch or matrix can have all the required information gathered and ready to return in a few hours. The data can then be turned into a solid part within the day.

Q.  Does it matter what type of scanning devise is used?

A.  Yes, there several different type of scanning devises used to gather the point cloud used to produce the surface data. Each devise has it's pro's and con's concerning speed, accuracy, and flexibility of the part.

Q. What devices do you have to Reverse Engineer parts?

A. As far as machines we have a Mitutoyo CMM, Renishaw Cyclone, and a Romer Arm with a Perceptron Laser. Software we have includes Scanworks, Geomagic, Solidworks, and PowerINSPECT.

Q. What can you Reverse Engineer?

A. We have scanned parts for jet motors, army trucks, hog feeders, die blocks, plastic sword's, and just about anything you could imagine. These parts can be new, legacy, or even parts you still have in production.

Q. What sets you apart other companies that also do Reverse Engineering?

A. Well if you have a tape measure and a pad of paper you can reverse engineer, but we feel we have the technology to accurately get you all the 2 and 3d  data on the part you need. Also, we have the capabilities to go back and check our data to the original part.
