My business relied heavily on the process of reverse engineering. We specialized in the restructuring and remodeling of older and larger buildings. Often, we come into an older building that is having some structural issues and we try to correct these problems with more effective solutions while still maintaining the original integrity of the building. When it comes to older buildings, the original blue prints are often long gone and we have to start from scratch when it comes to figuring out the fundamental design. For some replacement parts, we can use general material. But quite often we are finding that some of the buildings have some unusual structural features that will need to be carefully replicated.
I often banked upon reverse engineering in order to replicate parts and have them procreated with a more lasting material. After years of running my business efficiently I decided that it was time to purchase my own 3D scanning equipment in order to complete this process. I had been renting these image scanners for years and I finally had saved up enough money in order to purchase my own. I was very emotional about this and already knew which scanner I would be purchasing.
By buying my own digital scanner I was hoping to save myself some time. It always seemed that just as we were about to finish a project we would find a structural element that would need to be scanned and then I’d have to wait for the rental to arrive. Now I could cut back on any delays by having my own scanning equipment ready to go on hand. Instead of waiting a week in order to get a remanufactured part out to the site, I could trim that number to as early as one to two days. I’m hoping that by finally owning my own equipment I will be able to finish more buildings per year.
