Hexagon’s ReCreate software enables reverse engineering from metrology scan

Hexagon’s Manufacturing Intelligence division has unveiled ReCreate, a software system designed to make it easier and faster to reverse-engineer parts from metrology scan to manufacturable model.

This software provides a single working environment to both scan and create a manufacturable CAD model. Users can prepare CAD models and drawings from any point cloud data. Its fully featured CAD tool suite enables users to create complete and manufacturable CAD models as well as 2D engineering drawings.

Analysis tools enable manufacturing professionals to “interrogate” those 3D models and validate whether they are manufacturable before exporting as CAD or STL files for CAM or additive manufacturing processes.

Manufacturers that use the company’s portable arms for inspection can reduce training needs by allowing any operator to read inspection data directly from the device to perform reverse engineering using a single tool.
