Reverse Engineering

Reverse engineering is a dedicated and precise process that Valve Trim Industries uses to create a 3-Dimensional surface drawing or solid model of an existing part. These drawings can then be used to modify the existing part or to machine a new one to OEM form, fit and function size. The data collection process is accomplished by utilizing the following methods:

• CMM inspection
• Optical digitizing
• Physical measurement
• NDE Testing
• Laser Inspection

The collected data is then processed using high-tech software programs to prepare it for integrating into a CAD model. The finished CAD is then detailed or modified to the customer’s specifications and design enhancements. Finally, it is prepared for converting to Master-CAM and processed for manufacturing.
