Do you have a prototype part but no blueprint? Have an old part that an OEM doesn't have specifications for? Are you in the aftermarket parts business? Do you have a better idea, and need dimensions to send to a supplier? If so, we offer top-shelf reverse engineering services.

CavTool provides everything from raw measurement data to engineering drawings that you can send directly to a 3D modeling machine, or any of our 3D machining applications.

Digitizing and Scanning

Digitizing is the method employed to digitally represent 2D and 3D shapes and objects. The data can be recorded and/or converted in terms of points, conventional curves, splines, surfaces and solid models. This data is often used to define or analyze complex geometry and can also play a key role in comprehensive and sophisticated reverse engineering processes. CavTool has vast and varied digitizing and scanning capabilities with accuracies smaller than .0001 and XYZ coordinate data collection at rates beyond thousands of points per second.

Measurement Services

CavTool recognizes that many reverse engineering jobs aren’t complex and don’t require scanning at all. Further, some customers like to make their own sketches and include dimensions without values and have the values determined via dimensional measurement. In other words, the process is almost like inspection to a drawing except the nominal values have not been predetermined and are dependent on the actual measurements themselves. But how do you obtain tolerances to use for manufacturing?
