Digitization of precision mechanical components — including gearboxes, engine blocks, pumps, and turbine parts — for reverse engineering and quality inspection.

Challenge

  • Many components required sub-millimeter accuracy due to tight tolerances.
  • Complex geometries (internal cavities, cooling channels, irregular surfaces) made manual measurement impractical.
  • Some parts were legacy components with no CAD documentation available.

Solution

  • Applied handheld structured-light scanners with blue-light/laser technology for high-resolution capture.
  • Used marker-based alignment to ensure complete surface coverage and eliminate drift.
  • Processed raw point clouds into watertight CAD models ready for CNC machining, additive manufacturing, or integration into larger assemblies.

Outcome

  • Delivered fully dimensioned 3D models that allowed engineers to reproduce discontinued components.
  • Enabled accurate design modifications and optimization of mechanical systems.
  • Provided inspection data for wear analysis and quality control, reducing risk of part failure.
