Orbits of Issac reverse engineered

What needs Recreation?

Kettering University has an important sculpture at the hub of its campus. This sculpture is the Orbits of Issac. This sculpture is fairly large standing at over 10’x10’x10′. They called us, Applications 3D, to have the Orbits of Issac reverse-engineered.

To reverse engineer the Orbits of Issac a 3D scan is necessary first. To scan such a large structure outdoors we used our Surphaser scanner. Furthermore, this scanner has a range of up to 70 meters and is very accurate. This makes the Surphaser the perfect scanner to use for such a job. An accurate scan was completed quickly thanks to it being able to capture 1.2 million points per second. With the scanning now complete reverse engineering can now begin.

Orbits of Issac Reverse Engineered

The Orbits of Issac is a complex sculpture made up of various geometries. Due to its complexity, numerous CAD parts had to be created. These CAD parts would then be joined together in a single assembly file. The final model was then sent over to Kettering University. They downsized the model to be able to create much smaller 3D-printed replicas.

WOW! What a great experience. Applications 3D provided us with the best looking scans I've ever seen. Fast, friendly and affordable. I can't say enough good things. Thanks again Raminder!!

Raminder did a fantastic job scanning some parts for me. VERY reasonable pricing for the quality of scan provided and the turn around time was ridiculously fast. 10/10 would recommend and will be using again!

The Applications 3D team is a pleasure to work with. They have provided our organization with 3D scanning, reverse engineering, and CAD model creation services. The pricing is great and they have quick turn around times.

I found Applications 3D online, wanting to get an item scanned accurately. Couldn't have been happier with their services. They were fast, great communications, and the end result was excellent. I will use them again in the future. This job was for an individual project and they did not hesitate with their services. It was also at a lower cost than I could find anywhere in my state. Highly recommend their services. Thank You Raminder-Applications 3D

Very professional and in depth and detailed with his work. You might find a cheaper source but not a better one.

I approached Applications 3D with an existing 3D scan file that I didn’t know what to do with. After speaking with Raminder over the phone, we scheduled an appointment same day to review the file. He looked at my file, and gave me a quote for his service - to produce a Step file that could be used to CNC a master mold from the shape that I had scanned. He was finished with the design in 1 week, but there was a slight issue which I brought to his attention, and he immediately worked on creating a solution, which was resolved by the end of that same day!! I honestly couldn’t be more happy with the result, and very much look forward to working together with Raminder & his company again for more 3D modeling work.
