Cast_CAD – CAD data fed back from 3D scan

For this project, a cast component was digitized using a 3D scan and then fully reverse engineered. The aim was to create a clean, production-related CAD model that correctly depicts the real geometry of the cast part and makes it usable for design purposes.

Cast parts often have irregular surfaces, beveled shapes and casting-related deviations. Through reverse engineering, these properties could be interpreted in a targeted manner and transferred into a technically defined CAD geometry – including functional surfaces and relevant references.

The result is a structured CAD data set, suitable for spare parts production, adjustments, geometry comparison and constructive further development.

Areas of application:

• Reverse engineering of castings

• CAD traceability & new modeling

• Spare parts and small series production

• Dimensional and shape inspection

• Constructive optimization

The result can be viewed and checked in the following 3D viewer. The reverse CAD model based on the 3D scan (reverse engineering) is shown.
