CRP Technology launched a new reverse engineering and dimensional inspection service that provides consulting for 3D scanning, CAD modeling, dimensional inspection, and quality control. CRP says reverse engineering technology is now essential to what it calls the design loop—the process that includes concept development, design engineering, and production.
 
CRP can create a number of models from 3D point-cloud data: STL for rapid prototyping and production, NURBS surfaces (B class), style surfaces (A class), and parametric solids. The same hardware and software used for reverse engineering can also be used to compare the surfaces of a manufactured part with the original CAD model and highlight dimensional gaps generated during manufacturing. CRP will also perform shrinkage analysis of molded parts, castings, and prototypes.
A 7-axis Faro Platinum arm is the workhorse of CRP's reverse-engineering service.
For reverse engineering, CRP uses a portable 7-axis Faro Platinum arm with a Faro laser line probe optical system. The Faro system scans 19,200 points per second. The company also has four 3D CMMs (coordinate measurement machines).
