Reverse engineering

Platforms for Modelling (Software)

Fox Pro can create files that can be used in any current programme as well as a variety of older systems. SolidWorks and Creo/Pro-E are our core platforms, both of which are up-to-date with the current editions (we often retain legacy licences for those customers who need them). If we don’t have your preferred cad program, we can create neutral file formats such as. Igs.,stp.,xt., and many more.

Project Handoff & Verification

Any RE project’s quality and success are dependent on accuracy. To verify that each feature and characteristic is faithful to the scanned component, Fox Pro employs its proprietary Deviation Analysis technique. It’s utilised all the way through the reverse engineering process, as the model tree expands with each new feature and iteration.

Every project comes to a close with a conference call or screen sharing to check that the findings are clear and meet your needs. Deviation Analysis is used as a final proof-of-work at the conclusion of every RE project to provide a detailed point-by-point comparison that what we’ve made fits your scanned real component. With manual procedures, this degree of accuracy in verification is almost unattainable. A Deviation Analysis reduces the expense of thorough verification and is essential for ensuring the correctness of the final model.

Reverse engineering is a term used to describe the process of :

Fox Pro was an early adopter of 3D scanning for reverse engineering, geometry reconstruction, and 3D modelling. Our approach has been fine-tuned and optimised to address a variety of industry-specific issues. Fox Pro reverse engineering is used by medical devices, heavy equipment, as well as tooling and plastic companies.

Here are some things to think about before you start your next modelling or reverse-engineering project:

Determine what you intend to do with this file. When this model is returned to you, what are the “next steps”? (This is really useful when quoting.)
Include photographs of the component from all angles. We must have a thorough grasp of the dimensions, forms, and characteristics involved.
The level of detail and accuracy required for your physical part
