Reverse engineering derives the original blueprint from a finished product. In mechanical engineering, it describes the process of 3D-scanning an object and converting it into CAD. There are three conversion methods. Learn more at: https://holocreators.com/reverse-engi...

Depending on what type of CAD model and file format is needed, one of the following three reverse engineering methods can be used:
Reverse engineering to surface model
Reverse engineering to solid model
Reverse engineering to parametric model with a history tree
