Reverse Engineering

In many cases, an object’s production begins with the manual creation of a prototype by a technician or designer, using materials such as wood, clay, or special plastics. The Prototype is modelled so as to confer specific functional and aesthetic characteristics; during production, however, changes are often made.

Especially in the case of free-geometry surfaces, changes to the original part of a design are very difficult to carry out, and often impossible to analyze or describe in relation to the original design. This requires implementation of a procedure to create a CAD model of the physical object to be built – quickly and automatically.

Fratelli Rotondi offers an engineering service of any three-dimensional object or component; starting from a prototype, or any finished product, or even from specific parts requiring specific analysis, a reverse engineering process produces an exact CAD model. This model allows for easy modification of any existing parts, as well as development of new components, dimensional analysis, and initiation of a CAM production process.
