Manufacturing for military readiness not only involves the initial production of arms, equipment, and technology but also the ongoing replacement and repair of degraded, outdated, or lost items, necessitating the use of the latest technology to enhance efficiency and effectiveness.

Reverse engineering is the process of taking apart a product to understand its design and functionality. This knowledge is helpful for creating similar products or improving existing designs.

Hexagon’s Manufacturing Intelligence division and ARCH Motorcycle, a manufacturer of high-performance bespoke motorcycles, have partnered to support the quality control demands of engineering and producing unique riding experiences for ARCH customers.

In business since 1986, Geoform specializes in dimensional inspection services, first article inspection, reverse-engineering and 3-D scanning.

Digital reverse engineering (RE) as a concept has exploded in recent years due to advances in technology and a growing awareness of best practices among manufacturers. 

Computed tomography (CT) scanning is one of the most advanced measurement technologies available today for medical device manufacturers and molders. 

What do Arnold Schwarzenegger, a Tyrannosaurus Rex named Trix, British water pipes, and a 1927 Ford Eifel have in common? They have all been digitized using professional handheld 3D scanners.

The process of reverse engineering using 3D scanning can yield many outputs and there is certainly some confusion between them. I hope this brief explanation of options can help set you down the correct path for your needs.

The term reverse engineering can be applied to a wide range of technologies, including disassembling computer code, genetic modification, and many more. For engineering applications, it is more usually thought of as the conversion of physical parts into digital models.
