Reverse Engineering

GSE offers reverse engineering services to our customers. Working with a business partner, GSE can scan a component with white light or with CMM equipment, and quickly create a CAD model of a component.

Our metallurgists can cut out material samples and perform analysis to determine the material make-up, coating compositions, mechanical properties, and any heat treatment.

GSE will then collaborate with the customer to determine accurate performance conditions for the component, and we will then use our design and analysis tools to redesign the component while considering cost, delivery time, and considerations like tooling and the supply chain.

GSE can deliver a working component, and even test the component in the lab to ensure it meets the failure criteria. GSE will deliver a technical data package that will enable the customer to produce the new components in the future.

With the ATOS white light camera, GSE is able to develop 3D models from a point cloud. This can be used for:

- Targets and scale bars
- Surface prep and final targets
- Point cloud data for 3D model creation
