Applied Technical Services (ATS) is a leader among reverse engineering firms. Reverse engineering is one of the reasons for the constant innovation and improvement of modern industries and technologies. Reverse engineering firms, such as ATS, utilize specialized tools and software to gain a deeper understanding of the construction, dimensions, and potential applications of various types of equipment.
What is Reverse Engineering?
Reverse engineering is the process of deconstructing a component or product to gain a deeper understanding of its design, functions, and geometry. Reverse engineering is particularly important in engineering and manufacturing applications, where it’s used to do the following:
- Recreate legacy parts.
- Repair or service discontinued parts.
- Conduct failure analysis.
- Problem-solve manufacturing issues.
About Our Reverse Engineering Firm
We deliver comprehensive reverse engineering services supported by modern metrology instruments, advanced digital modeling software, and a highly trained and multidisciplined staff. Our engineers and technicians are proficient in the processes needed to reverse engineer products using numerous methods, including:
3D Laser Scanning
3D scanners allow experts to collect information about an item’s dimensions, geometry, and features, which is later used to render a 3D model of the object. This rapid process captures precise details at high resolutions without ever touching the object.
CT Scanning
Computed tomography captures an object’s external and internal geometries, providing engineers with a 3D volumetric image. CT scanning requires fewer steps than traditional reverse engineering, and it’s especially useful for recreating components without CAD files.
Coordinate Measuring Machines
Coordinate measuring machines (CMMs) capture spatial data, allowing engineers to digitize an object’s physical dimensions. This grants experts the opportunity to recreate components without the assistance of CAD or drawings.
Scanning Electron Microscopy
Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) creates detailed 3D images of a material’s composition and surface topography. SEM is adept at analyzing micro- and nano-scale parts, such as semiconductors.
Our state-of-the-art facilities accept reverse engineering projects involving both small, intricate components and larger assemblies and our chemistry and metallurgy departments also offer services that can evaluate a material’s composition.
