REcreate takes the complexity out of reverse engineering to create a smarter, faster and more flexible design and production environment for modelling new products and for repairing or replacing parts.

Making sophisticated design simple

Highly flexible, REcreate stands apart from traditional reverse engineering software by incorporating a CAD system that can create 2D drawings as well as CAD models. REcreate fits into any existing production workflow and is versatile enough to be used as a standalone product, working with machines that don’t use CAM data, or as part of an end-to-end CAD to CAM solution. Other key functionalities include direct modelling, which makes it easy for users to form the shape the require.

A full range of reverse engineering applications

The ease-of-use and interoperability of REcreate make it simple for users to capture data by connecting directly to scanning devices or importing mesh, solid, surface or point cloud data. They can model designs in a single environment using a full array of modelling data and manufacture using CAD/CAM – as well as validate quality. And they can start at whichever point in the reverse engineering process that best suits their needs.

With REcreate manufacturers and OEMs can:

  • Reconstruct legacy parts
  • Develop innovative products from existing parts
  • Ensure a precise fit for new components
  • Create CAD for parts when none exist
  • Up date design files to reflect changes that occurred during manufacturing or prototyping.

And because REcreate is designed to operate with a wide range of third-party systems, it can be used either as a fully end-to-end reverse engineering solution or as a complement to existing technology.
