Reverse Engineering in KOMPAS-3D

In this course, you’ll get acquainted with an approach to reverse engineering using KOMPAS-3D. You’ll learn which tools KOMPAS-3D provides for restoring a precise model based on a scanned model. To do this, we’ll open the scanned impeller model in KOMPAS and approximate its elements, allowing us to snap to them and create elements of the precise impeller model. We’ll control the approximation using the analysis tool. Finally, we’ll refine the model by adding standard elements such as chamfers and fillets.
