Peel 3.CAD: 3D scanning solution for reverse engineering workflows with SolidWorks, Autodesk Inventor, Autodesk Fusion 360° and Solid Edge

For many small-and-medium-sized businesses (SMBs) and startups, high-quality, professional-grade 3D scanning capabilities are becoming necessary for clear-cut reverse engineering projects with CAD software. Rather than struggling with more advanced 3D scanners and software, teams can use Peel 3.CAD to make their jobs much more manageable.

Peel 3.CAD is designed for small businesses and entrepreneurs who are ready to move beyond the basics and export 3D scanned data directly into CAD platforms, like SolidWorks, Autodesk Inventor, Autodesk Fusion 360°, and Solid Edge, for further treatment and improvements. Its powerful software suite incorporates Peel.OS and Peel.CAD 3D scanning software, Peel 3.CAD takes 3D scanning capabilities up a notch to replicate and remanufacture components; users can take advantage of assisted step-by-step 3D scanning workflow to align 3D scans as well as process entities and cross-sections. They can also take on basic extracting and measuring tasks, including capturing the precise dimensions of an object or ensuring new components fit around the existing object without interference. Once complete, the files can be exported to CAD solutions for further improvements: SolidWorks, Autodesk Inventor, Autodesk Fusion 360°, Solid Edge or any others.

Typical use cases

The Peel 3.CAD bundle is for small companies with users who need to conduct reverse engineering tasks and bring them to their preferred CAD environments.

Product design

Designing new components from existing parts and assemblies often involves frequent revisions and rapid iterations, which can be bogged down by time-consuming 3D measurement processes. Peel 3.CAD solves this by allowing designers to scan physical prototypes and send them directly to CAD software. This reduces errors and speeds up the development cycle, enabling more detailed testing and refinements.

Aftermarket and tuning

In aftermarket and tuning industries, accuracy is at the top of the list when modifying or replicating parts. Using Peel 3.CAD, engineers can scan a wide range of complex components, convert them to digital models, and directly import those models into CAD platforms, such as SolidWorks, for modification. This workflow ensures parts are replicated with the highest degree of accuracy, helping teams elevate customization, reduce reliance on foreign supply chains, and guarantee parts are available when they need them.

MRO and engineering

MRO and engineering teams often encounter the problem of sourcing hard-to-find or obsolete parts. Peel 3.CAD helps by allowing users to scan worn components and create digital models that can be used to fabricate new components or identify suitable replacements. This helps small-and-medium-sized businesses (SMBs) minimize downtimes, fast-track repairs, and respect customer agreements.
