When it comes to reverse engineering in the mining industry, Element's team is one of the most experienced.
The scan process has a lot of features. An inefficient operator, even with the best equipment, can get an unsatisfactory result. In addition, the scanner is not able to get into the cavity and it cannot scan deep holes, so calipers and micrometers still need to be scanned. In addition to the scan, you need to perform a number of sketches for the individual product elements.
The designer must carefully analyze the product, sketches and scans, make measurements of the mating parts, study the operating manual and other operational documents, and only then assign dimensions and tolerances for them.
In fact, this is a full-time product design job.
