Reverse Engineering, 3D Scanning & Designing for Additive Manufacturing

In this session from the Product Development Expo (PDX), we walk through how we approach reverse engineering using 3D scan data, what imported features to leave from the scan, and what to rebuild as true CAD features. Instead of chasing perfection, the focus is on controlling the features that actually matter for fit, function, and manufacturing. From cleaning up scan data to rebuilding key geometry in SOLIDWORKS, this process helps bridge the gap between physical parts and production-ready design. If you have worked with scan data or needed to recreate a part, this is a practical look at how to make it usable. Have a part you are trying to recreate or improve?
