Customer Input drives shop floor reverse engineering and 3D scanning workflow


LA JOLLA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--ReverseEngineering.com®, the world’s leading CAD/CAM Integrated reverse engineering and 3D scanning software, today announced the release of ReverseEngineering.com 2023 Fusion 360 Faro and Romer Arms add-in.

Manufacturers worldwide will be able to use their PCMMs and turn them into a powerful modeling tool. The Fusion 360 PCMM add-in was developed with a shop floor driven focus, that helps ensure operators can 3D capture, 3D measure, 3D scan and 3D model physical part features and complex surfaces quickly. Machine shops can now bypass stand-alone scanning software by using this CAD integrated reverse engineering add-in directly in Fusion 360 as the front end to their 3D scanning hardware.

“This game changing solution connects Faro and Romer arms to Autodesk Fusion 360. The tight integration with the CAD software enables engineers to seamlessly 3D-measure directly in the Fusion 360 environment. End-users will be able to efficiently and effectively use scanned data from their portable measuring arms, to create a 3D model. When the shop floor operator holds the PCMM probe and visually sees a tracking point moving on the Fusion 360 screen, their expression is one of amazement. Improvements to the ReverseEngineering.com add-in is directly driven by shop floor users’ feedback. Once a feature is captured, it can be measured, using the Fusion 360 Inspect tool, to ensure it is within tolerance of micrometers or calipers. Manufacturers benefit from an immediate ROI after their scanning operators gain confidence with the PCMM integration. Ultimately, they now have a power tool that is a 3D digital caliper/micrometer, allowing operators to create 3D models in real time,” said Braxton Carter, CEO/President of ReverseEngineering.com.
