Reverse Engineering, 3D Scanning

​

At ABAL Mechanical Design, we provide precise and efficient reverse engineering and 3D scanning services to help you capture, replicate, or improve existing parts. Whether you need to reproduce a legacy component, check dimensional accuracy, or develop new tooling, we turn physical parts into reliable 3D data ready for design and manufacturing.

​

3D Scanning

We use professional handheld scanning equipment to capture detailed geometry from small to medium-sized parts.
Our workflow includes:

• High-resolution mesh capture and alignment

• Surface cleanup and hole filling

• Export of clean STL or OBJ meshes for inspection or reference

• Optional comparison against nominal CAD data

3D scanning is ideal for parts without drawings or when dimensional verification is required before redesign.

​

Reverse Engineering

We convert scanned data into accurate solid models using SolidWorks and surface-reconstruction tools.
Depending on your project, we offer two levels of output:

• STEP / Parasolid files: watertight, accurate solid models suitable for manufacturing, quoting, or inspection (non-parametric).

• Fully remodeled CAD models: reconstructed in SolidWorks with design intent and editable features (parametric).

This flexibility allows you to choose between a fast geometry capture or a full design-ready model, depending on your needs and budget.
