Reverse Engineering Excellence Backed by 18+ Years of Proven Delivery

BMS Design Ltd specialise in converting physical parts and components into usable digital CAD models. 

BMS Design Ltd specialises in transforming physical parts, components, and assemblies into accurate, fully editable 3D CAD models. With more than 18 years of dedicated reverse engineering experience and thousands of successful conversions, we are recognised as one of the UK’s leading providers of high‑quality scan‑to‑CAD services.
We support engineering companies, manufacturers, product designers, and many of the UK’s top 3D scanning and metrology providers with fast, precise, and reliable data processing.

Bridge Inside

Our Reverse Engineering Services

What We Deliver

 

We convert 3D scan data — including STL, point clouds, and mesh files — into clean, parametric CAD models suitable for design, manufacture, inspection, and documentation. Outputs include:

  • Native SolidWorks with full feature tree

  • STEP, IGES, CATIA, Revit, DWG, and other major formats

  • Geometric Quality Verification Reports comparing CAD to scan data for full confidence

 

Every project is validated to ensure accuracy, traceability, and engineering integrity.

 

Our Reverse Engineering Process

We follow a refined, highly efficient workflow developed over nearly two decades:

​

Scan → Point Cloud → Mesh → STL → Parametric CAD → Final CAD Output

​

This process ensures the highest possible accuracy while maintaining full design intent and editability.

 

Why Clients Choose BMS

  • Thousands of scan files converted since 2007

  • Fast turnaround, including same‑day and overnight emergency processing

  • Trusted by leading 3D scanning companies for outsourced CAD conversion

  • Expertise rooted in race‑car design and high‑performance engineering

  • Any file format, any complexity, any sector

 

We specialise in the part of the process most scanning companies struggle with: turning raw scan data into usable, fully parametric CAD models.

​

Emergency & Rapid‑Response Services

We provide urgent processing for critical industries such as oil & gas pipeline repair, where engineers capture scans on‑site and send STL files directly to us. We convert the data into accurate CAD models within hours, enabling rapid repair, fabrication, or replacement.

 

Sectors We Support

​

  • Automotive & Motorsport

  • Aerospace & Defence

  • Oil & Gas / Energy

  • Manufacturing & Industrial

  • Product Design & Prototyping

  • Heritage & Restoration

  • Construction & BIM

 

Our services are tailored to each client’s technical, manufacturing, or documentation requirements.

 

3D Scanning Support

While many clients supply their own scan data, we also offer stand‑alone 3D scanning for components ranging from micro‑parts and electronics to classic cars, helicopters, and aircraft. Scan data can be provided as raw point clouds or processed into CAD.

 

Inspection & Verification

We offer inspection services for production components, including tolerance checks, deviation analysis, and comparison against theoretical CAD models.

​

Get in Touch

For quotations, technical discussions, or urgent processing requirements, contact us today. We respond quickly and can begin work immediately.

3D Scanning Services

3D Scanning

Mobile hand or arm laser scanning for virtually any type of component from micro medical parts, circuit boards, automotive and medical components to classic cars, helicopters and fighter jets.

​

We frequently convert the 3D scan data into 3D CAD models but we do offer a stand-alone 3D Scanning service with scan data provided in point cloud format.

Converting 3D Scan to 3D CAD Model Servi

Converting 3D Scan into 3D CAD models

BMS specialise in converting client scan data into parametric CAD models. Many clients have their own scanning equipment but don’t have the time or resource to  convert scan data into usable 3D CAD models. This has always been the stumbling block when it comes to converting scan data into usable CAD data. We have been doing this since 2005 and have perfected the process. We turn jobs round overnight and for very little cost. We aim to be the world’s best in processing 3D Scan data.

Inspection Services

Inspections production run components checking tolerances, deviation, comparison to theoretical.

Building and Land Surveying and BIM Serv

Building / Land Surveys and BIM Modelling

BMS perform building and site surveys.  Many clients have their own surveying equipment but need support converting the scan data into usable 3D CAD models AKA BIM.
