I will reverse engineer physical parts 3d scans stl obj to parametric cad step iges dfm


About this gig
I provide professional reverse engineering and scan to CAD services that transform physical mechanical parts, 3D scans, STL, OBJ, mesh and point cloud data into clean, editable parametric CAD models ready for modification, prototyping and manufacturing.
I reconstruct mechanical components with engineering intent rather than simply converting a mesh. Services include physical part reconstruction, STL to STEP, OBJ to CAD, mesh to solid modeling, parametric feature creation, geometry repair, dimensional reconstruction, replacement part development and CAD redesign.
I can prepare models for CNC machining, 3D printing, injection molding, casting and other manufacturing processes, with DFM considerations, critical dimensions, fits and tolerances where the reference data supports them.
Deliverables can include STEP, IGES, X_T, STL, native CAD files and technical drawings in DWG, DXF or PDF formats. I also handle legacy components, obsolete parts, damaged replacements, scanned prototypes and existing CAD that needs repair or modification.
Send your scan, STL, OBJ, measurements, drawings or photos and I will review the available data, identify achievable accuracy

FAQ
Can you reverse engineer a physical mechanical part?
Yes. I can reconstruct a physical component from accurate measurements, photographs, drawings or 3D scan data and create an editable parametric CAD model suitable for redesign or manufacturing.
Can you convert STL or OBJ to STEP?
Yes. I can rebuild STL, OBJ, mesh and scan data into clean solid or parametric CAD and provide STEP, IGES or other required formats depending on the project.
Will the CAD model be fully editable?
Yes. Where the reference data supports it, I reconstruct the model using editable features and engineering geometry rather than simply wrapping a surface around the original mesh.
Can you reverse engineer obsolete or replacement parts?
Yes. This is an excellent use case for reverse engineering. I can recreate legacy, discontinued, damaged or unavailable mechanical components for replacement, redesign or manufacturing.
Can you make the model ready for CNC or 3D printing?
Yes. I can consider manufacturing method, wall thickness, clearances, fits, tolerances and other DFM requirements when sufficient project information is provided.
Can you work from a physical part without a 3D scan?
Yes. For suitable components, I can work from photographs, measurements, sketches, drawings or a combination of available references. Accuracy depends on the quality and completeness of the supplied information.
What CAD formats can you provide?
Depending on the project, I can provide STEP, IGES, Parasolid X_T, STL and native CAD formats, with DWG, DXF or PDF technical drawings when included in the selected package.
Can you repair or modify an existing CAD model?
Yes. I can repair geometry, rebuild problematic features, modify dimensions and redesign existing mechanical CAD for prototyping or manufacturing.
