ReverseEngineering.com, a registered trademark and DBA of HighRES, Inc., has announced its 2026 Autodesk Fusion Add-In for Portable CMMs—a fully digital, closed-loop measurement solution designed to enhance reverse engineering workflows and boost shop floor efficiency.
The add-in integrates natively with FARO Probe Manager, Hexagon RDS, and leading PCMM hardware—including FARO Quantum X, Hexagon Absolute Arm, ROMER Arms, and compatible laser scanners. It offers seamless probe calibration, real-time data capture, and parametric CAD modeling—all within a single Autodesk Fusion environment.
Powered by proprietary ScanToCAD Push Technology, the platform extracts feature-based geometry from dense point clouds and instantly converts it into editable CAD features. Engineers can generate solids, parametric surfaces, and production-ready drawings directly from scan data—eliminating manual modeling and enabling real-time scan-to-drawing workflows.
“When reverse engineering an engine exhaust port, designers need precision splines at precision offsets with full node-to-node continuity,” said Braxton Carter Application Engineer at ReverseEngineering.com. “The 2026 add-in delivers this natively in Fusion—allowing us to scan, model, validate, and generate production-ready drawings in one seamless, real-time workflow.”
A spokesperson said, "Unlike static STL meshes, the solution generates fully editable CAD models with live deviation analysis—supporting true closed-loop Design-to-Manufacturing (D2M) cycles for industries demanding speed, precision, and traceability."
Key capabilities:
- Real-time probe and scanner data streaming into Autodesk Fusion
- Automated feature recognition and surface reconstruction
- Comprehensive point cloud to solids conversion
- Complex parametric geometry creation with full history tree control
- Scan-to-drawing for manufacturing (with GD&T, dimensions, and tolerance annotations)
- Closed-loop validation with on-arm remeasurement—no tool switching or file transfers
- Full compatibility with FARO, Hexagon, and third-party PCMMs
- ISO 10360-12 certified accuracy and NIST traceability.
