REVERSE ENGINEERING
Reverse engineering projects require a level of accuracy that you simply cannot compromise on. That’s why engineering teams prefer Creaform as their go-to partner for all their retrofitting requirements.
Leverage Creaform’s expertise in reverse engineering to generate 3D CAD models from existing objects (as-built), whether to determine the original design intent, modernize manufacturing processes, or design a new part to fit to a legacy product or equipment.
OUR REVERSE ENGINEERING EXPERTISE
Creaform is revolutionizing the way manufacturers think about—and perform—reverse engineering. We have opened the doors for managing incomplete component design data, eliminate original design flaws or failures, increase the efficiency of manufacturing processes and sustain product innovation. The following are the spheres of our retrofitting expertise:
- Parametric 3D modeling in generic and native formats
- Reconstruction from 3D scanning data, probing, 2D drawings, sketches, etc.
- Data preparation for digital simulation
- Hybrid modeling (2D and 3D scan data)
- Design modification from actual objects
- 3D modeling of objects of all sizes
OUR PROJECTS
Let’s show you how our clients have gained profound insight into what was working, what was not and how they improved for the future.
STREET LUGE ANALYSIS
As holders of the Guinness Book of World Record’s speed record in street luge (157 km/h), luge enthusiasts from Québec City decided to take up a new challenge: pass the symbolical mark of 100 mph—with no engine! Learn More

SIDE-BY-SIDE VEHICLE DEVELOPMENT
Our customer, a world leader in the design, manufacturing and marketing of motorized recreational vehicles, teamed up with Creaform to develop a new side-by-side vehicle. Learn More

HOCKEY HELMET DEVELOPMENT
Our customer, Easton Hockey, teamed up with Creaform to develop a new hockey helmet, the S-19/S-16. Working closely with the customer’s industrial design team, Creaform’s mandate was to convert and model in 3D the new helmet parts using CATIA V5. Learn More
