If you’re looking to reverse engineer something, then the Peel 3.CAD Reverse Engineering 3D Scanner is probably the simplest place to start. It’s not cheap, but if your shop is doing this kind of work often enough, it might pay for itself over time. The Peel scanner lets you move a hand-held scanner around a part or any 3D object that you’d like to scan and integrates it with your preferred CAD software. Made in Canada, the Peel 3D scanner is priced at $12,285 at time of publication.
