Reverse Engineering

Reproduce any part exactly, even without the original drawings.

Automotive components like this windshield wiper assembly can be reverse-engineered based on precise internal measurements of an industrial CT scan.

The problems CT solves here are supply chain and production problems as much as engineering ones. Aerospace and defense manufacturers use CT to recover geometry for legacy components where original drawings no longer exist and the part must be reproduced to keep aging platforms operational. Automotive teams use it to reshore parts from overseas suppliers who never provided complete internal specifications, producing domestic manufacturing documentation from the part itself. Medical device engineers use CT to document the internal geometry of existing instruments and implants before design updates, creating a baseline that captures what was actually built rather than what was originally specified. Electronics and consumer packaged goods teams apply the same approach to reproduce packaging tooling, connector geometries, and enclosure designs where internal structure determines fit and function.

Lumafield's platform takes the scan data through to a usable output. Voyager generates meshes from CT scans that can be exported into CAD workflows, measured against tolerance requirements, and shared across engineering and manufacturing teams without manual transcription of dimensions.
