Streamline the design process using SolidWorks 3D CAD to create new designs—or recreate existing designs—based on ones that already exist. Reverse engineering can accelerate product development and reduce risk, save time, and increase productivity. Reverse engineering tools include:

ScanTo3D capability to import, edit, evaluate, and create solid geometry from scanned point cloud and mesh data
Sufacing Tools that enable creation and editing of complex geometry, including stylish, curve-continuous (C2) surfaces
Import and reuse concepts generated with Adobe® Illustrator®
Auto Trace to import image files of paper sketches to begin your design (with raster to vector conversion)
Convert imported data to native SolidWorks file format
Geometry comparison tools to better understand different scanned designs
Mold design tools to create the necessary tooling to produce plastic, cast, forged, and other parts
Export data for rapid prototyping
