Onsite 3D scanning & reverse engineering for Manufacturers

Worn pattern? No drawing? Back in production in days, not weeks.

We scan your pattern, core box or casting at your plant and deliver an accurate, editable CAD model — ready to machine, send to a toolmaker, or print as a sand core. You own the file forever.

Save Money

Replacing worn or outdated tooling can cost tens of thousands of dollars to the maunfacturer.

Save Time

Be back in produciton within days of scanning your part. Not weeks

Limit Risk

Drop in U.S. patternmakers from 2007 to 2023 was close to 70%. 3D printing has become a valuable solution for this industry.

Forever

You own the file forever.
Print it, document it, make design iterations, print it again.

From worn part to print-ready file

Transform worn components into a precise digital models, ready for production.

Do you want to put old molds back into production after years of sitting on the shelf?

Using high accuracy scanning and reverse engineering expertise, we can return parts to their original design intent putting you back into production with higher quality parts.

Real foundry cores from real customer jobs: scanned onsite, rebuilt in CAD, checked against the scan and exported for 3D sand printing. Limit downtime and increase efficiency when updating old designs and developing new parts.

Raw 3D scan of a worn fitting core

Step 1

Scanned onsite

Captured at the customer's plant, worn surfaces and all. The original never leaves the floor.

Step 2

Create CAD Model

The scan helps createe a clean, accurate, editable solid model. This is when the design intent of the part is restored.

Step 3

Scan to CAD Accuracy

The model is compared to the scan and verified to your desired accuacy (up to ±1 mm).

Step 4

Ready to print file

Exported for 3D sand printing — our core-shop partner can print the core straight from the file.

Why scan instead of rebuild

The faster, cheaper way to replace tooling

Rebuilding a worn pattern by hand means waiting on a shrinking pool of patternmakers. A scan-to-CAD file gets you moving now — and protects you next time.

Traditional rebuild

Revolve 3D scan-to-CAD

Lead time

Weeks of patternmaking and trial runs

Days from scan to file

Cost

$5,000–$50,000 to rebuild tooling

Most models $750–$3,600 per part

Your original

Crated, shipped out, at risk

Never leaves your plant

What you keep

A physical pattern that will wear again

A permanent, editable CAD file

Making cores

Needs a pattern or core box

Print sand cores straight from the file

Next time it wears

Start over

Reuse the file — no new scan
