Reverse Duplicator

An AI-based reverse engineering model converts physical parts into native parametric CAD ready for immediate manufacturing. Previously, digitizing a single part took hours to days and cost approximately $1,500, but the new model completes the task for about $10 in 1–5 minutes.

Most factories do not have CAD models for their own parts. This is often because external integrators who built the production lines did not hand over the models, or because the parts and equipment were discontinued or manufactured before digital design existed. Even Airbus invested hundreds of millions of dollars to restore CAD data for the A320.

While 3D scanning precisely captures part surfaces, the resulting mesh consists of millions of triangles and cannot be directly used for editing, dimensioning, or manufacturing processes. This model reconstructs parts like an engineer by linking the following CAD operations:

• Generate feature trees by combining CAD operations such as extrude, revolve, and pattern
• Output editable parametric CAD rather than fixed geometry
• Apply agents that perform self-verification and iterative refinement
• Analyze complex geometries for longer periods in Thinking Mode

This technology is currently deployed at a major automotive manufacturer. The manufacturer's small-scale equipment automatically digitizes half of the incoming parts, with plans to process nearly all parts by year-end.

Instead of reverse-engineering every time a part fails, factories can pre-scan spare parts, grippers, and fixtures to build a complete CAD database of their equipment. When a failure occurs, they can simply locate the file and manufacture it via 3D printer or CNC, transforming production downtime from an emergency response into a standard process.
