Reverse Engineering and Rapid Prototyping
Reverse Engineering and rapid prototyping play a significant role in producing qualified product from a prototype and/or an idea. Such processes facilitate the analysis and deduction of design structures of existing parts and also the creation of prototypes to test out products before rolling it out to final manufacturing process. NCMS employs professionally qualified team of engineers whose job is to take developmental conceptual designs and transform it into real manufactured parts using the most advanced technologies and fabrication solutions such as 3D printing, 3D scanning, investment casting and more. In addition, NCMS is capable of accurately manufacturing real parts with complex geometries that are strong enough not only for functional testing, but end-use as well. Our facilities have advanced machines that enable us to perform our tasks at a high level of accuracy within our equipment's capabilities.

Our Capabilities
- 3D Scanning
Portable 3D-Scanner - MetraScan 3D:
NCMS 3D-scanner is capable to 3D scan an object by collecting point-cloud of the object surface that can then be used for reverse engineering applications. With a volumetric accuracy of 0.085mm (0.003 in), we use MetraScan 3D in the following reverse engineering areas:
- 3D-Scan- to CAD, with the help of 3D reverse engineering software such as Geomagic Studio, Geomagic Control, Geomagic Design, VXelements, and Solidworks
- 3D Modeling
- 3D Printing
NCMS Fortus 400mc 3D printing machine is based on Stratasys Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) technology which is a leading additive manufacturing technology in the industry today. The machine is able to manufacture real parts with multiple thermoplastics grades such as ABS-M30, PC, PPSF, PC-ABS blend, ULTEM 9085, and more. The printing dimensions range (XYZ): 355mm x 254mm x 254mm and Layers thicknesses: (0.33mm, 0.25mm, 0.178mm, and 0.125mm)
Fortus 400mc 3D Printer can be used for:
- Small-batch manufacturing
- Final-part manufacturing
- Complex geometries
- Pieces with open cavities
- End-use parts
Investment Casting with the help of advanced technology systems, the department is capable of producing:
- Silicon molds used to vacuum-cast prototype parts.
- Casted material: wax, plastics (polyurethane resin), and rubber.
- Silicon and Rubber sealing parts (gaskets).
- Investment casting of Aluminum, Steel, and Brass parts.
- Investment casting of different parts sizes (max. 150mm3)
- Coordinate Measuring Machines (CMM)
- ZEISS Coordinate Measuring Machines
NCMS uses ZEISS CMM in reverse engineering process to check the correctness of the 3D printed parts, investment casted parts, and to compare the generated CAD files from the reverse engineering software with the real 3D scanned part
- Portable Coordinate Measuring Machine (PCMM) – HandyProbe
The HandyProbe is used to accurately measure parts with a size range of 1-3m for any type of material and with accuracy up to 22µm. It is highly efficient at measuring parts that cannot be moved to the CMM granite table caused by either the weight of the part or proximity to the CMM.
