Reverse Engineering for Mold and Die Makers

VISI Reverse is an intuitive module that combines hybrid modeling CAD functionality with 3D scan data processing — giving users a direct path from digitized or scanned data to fully compatible, editable solid models. Whether you're working from a physical prototype, an existing part, or a worn component that needs to be recreated, VISI Reverse integrates directly into the VISI mold and stamping die workflow to shorten the time between scan and production.

From Digital to Real

Modeling Your Thoughts

Real-world challenges require real-world solutions. VISI Reverse allows you to create editable CAD models directly from 3D scanned data and integrate them into your mold or stamping die workflow — bridging the gap between the physical and digital without starting from scratch.

Saving Time to Design

Reconstructing geometric objects from point data, adjusting and correcting the model with CAD commands, and defining punches, die plates, and tool geometry can take weeks using conventional methods. The intuitive, semi-automatic functions in VISI Reverse significantly shorten the time required to move from scan data through to a completed manufacturing-ready model.

Leverage Your Past

Many successful projects build on what already exists. VISI Reverse makes it easy to scan a prototype or existing model directly into VISI, adapt it, and improve it — so any new project can begin from a tangible, physical starting point rather than a blank screen.

Manufacturing the Real World

VISI Reverse gives you the tools to design and customize components that fit perfectly with existing products. Recreating broken or worn parts, producing replacement components, and designing new model revisions are just some of the practical applications this module supports.

Direct Link to Hexagon Devices

Powerful and Flexible

VISI Reverse imports unlimited scanned data directly from Hexagon portable devices including the Absolute Arm and the Leica Absolute Tracker, as well as from generic CSV file formats. Imported point clouds are converted into a usable mesh, a fully editable geometric model, or a hybrid model depending on your needs.

VISI Reverse includes point cloud filtering, processing, and optimization tools alongside mesh editing, refining, and smoothing algorithms — plus a wide range of semi-automatic surface creation functions that fit accurately to the original 3D scan data. Scan your world, redesign it, and manufacture it, all within a single system.

Portable Measuring Arms and 3D Laser Scanners

Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence provides industrial metrology systems built for environments where dimensional measurement is critical. 3D digital capture of shapes and surfaces using lasers is a fast and precise process, and portable scanning allows measurements to be taken directly on the shop floor — right where process improvements have the greatest impact.
