You wanted to hear about a case study and I choosed: the impeller. And I chose right because this was one of the most sensitive, technically demanding reverse engineering projects I’ve done so far. Some projects challenge your skills.

The Challenge: Broken, Glued, and Still Needs to Be Right This part arrived damaged literally. Some features were missing, and others were glued back together, which naturally showed up in the scan as deformation and excess material.

When you look at a helical shaft, your first thought is usually the spiral. On our latest project, however, the real puzzle was choosing a single “golden” tooth to drive the entire pattern. Every tooth on the scan showed a slightly different wear pattern, so cloning the wrong one would…

Why modern 3D-scanning is half engineering skill, half athletic routine – and 100 % fun.
