This project demonstrates the reverse engineering of aluminium bath feet using non-contact 3D scanning and CAD reconstruction. The original component was digitised to generate a high-resolution, watertight STL mesh, accurately capturing its geometry and surface details. The scan data was then processed and converted into a clean, parametric CAD model (STEP format), suitable for manufacturing, redesign, or reproduction. Particular attention was given to surface quality, dimensional accuracy, and geometric consistency to ensure reliable results. This workflow highlights how polygon-based scan data can be transformed into engineering-ready CAD geometry, enabling efficient production through CNC machining or other manufacturing processes.
Technology Used
For this project, a structured light 3D scanner with a medium field of view (300 mm FOV) and 4 MP camera resolution was used, providing a balance between coverage and detail capture.
