Los Angeles reverse engineering and scan-to-CAD support for physical parts when original design data is missing, outdated, or incomplete.
Automotive scan
Scan-to-CAD workflow
For parts that need agreed geometry reconstructed or documented when original CAD is missing or incomplete.
Reverse engineering is a sequence of capture, interpretation, reconstruction, and review. The intended use determines which features are measured literally and which require an agreed design decision.
Discontinued components, legacy parts, modified hardware, tooling, housings, and physical references with missing or unreliable CAD.
Part photos, rough size, critical interfaces, available drawings, intended changes, required CAD format, and how the model will be used.
A separately scoped STEP or IGES model, with mesh reference, review images, drawings, or deviation views included when agreed.
Clear answers reduce quoting time and help keep the final files aligned with the real project need.
The part is measured, usually with 3D scanning, and the captured geometry is used as a reference for rebuilding agreed features and surfaces into a controlled CAD model.
Common neutral deliverables include STEP and IGES. Mesh files, drawings, screenshots, or comparison views can be included when they are part of the agreed handoff.
Often, yes, but measured wear and intended design geometry are different questions. Existing condition is captured first, and any repair, symmetry, nominalization, or design-intent decisions are agreed before reconstruction.
There is no universal accuracy figure. Results depend on the part, surface, access, scanner setup, alignment, reconstruction method, and the features being evaluated. Any tolerance or validation requirement must be defined during scope review.
Photos, approximate size, material, required CAD format, intended use, critical interfaces, available drawings, target deadline, and whether the part can be shipped or requires on-site capture are the most useful starting details.
Local support is most useful when the physical part must be reviewed in person, is installed or difficult to ship, includes surrounding interfaces, or needs on-site capture. Kymerion reviews Los Angeles and Southern California projects for those situations; smaller movable parts can also be scoped from clear photos, drawings, and shipped or otherwise available reference geometry.
