Reverse Engineering
The peel 3 is particularly suitable for reverse-engineering applications. With Peel.CAD or Peel.CAD Pro, scan data can be converted into CAD-compatible workflows, including IGES and STEP output.
This makes the scanner useful for recreating discontinued or damaged components, modifying existing products, checking manufactured parts, and preparing models for CNC or 3D printing.
Inspection & Quality Control
The scanner can capture detailed 3D geometry for comparison against CAD models or reference data.
Typical applications include:
Dimensional verification
Part inspection
Prototype checking
Surface comparison
Manufacturing quality control
Tooling inspection
Component verification
