Scan‑to‑CAD / Reverse Engineering
We specialise in converting raw scan data into fully parametric 3D CAD models. While capturing scan data is straightforward, processing it into usable CAD requires expertise—this is where we excel.
We deliver models in all major formats, including: SolidWorks (with full feature tree), CATIA, Revit, STEP, IGES, DWG, and more.
We also provide rapid emergency processing for pipeline maintenance and repair contractors, converting field‑captured scans into clean CAD models overnight.
Many leading 3D scanning providers rely on us for their data‑processing needs.

The gallery below showcases just a fraction of what we have delivered through more than 20 years of 3D scanning and reverse engineering expertise. During that time, we have successfully captured and modelled an exceptional variety of components, structures, and vehicles—from race and rally cars, Formula One vehicles, classic car bodies, and complete transport systems such as trams, trains, RAF fighter jets, and helicopter gearboxes, to skyscrapers, cast concrete structures, underground engineering works, and major facilities including Amazon buildings. Our experience also extends to high-precision industrial and engineering applications, including turbine blades, wing spars, engines, mould tools, jigs and fixtures, pipes and valves for urgent repairs, mining and rock-crushing wear parts, castings, drill bits, shredders, housings, boat hulls, body panels, hip replacements, prosthetics, and more.

SCAN to CAD (Scan Data Processing)
Expert 3D Scan-to-CAD Conversion
Capturing 3D scan data is only the first step. The real value lies in transforming complex point cloud data into accurate, usable CAD models that support design, manufacturing, maintenance, and repair.
At BMS, we specialise in converting scan data into clean, parametric 3D CAD models tailored to your application.
We can deliver outputs in virtually any required format, including native SolidWorks files that retain the full design tree, as well as CATIA, Revit, STEP, IGES, and DWG.
For example, we support pipeline maintenance and repair contractors with overnight emergency scan-data processing. Engineers can capture pipeline parts or field areas using their own handheld laser scanners and send us the resulting STL files for rapid conversion into clean, parametric CAD models.
We also provide trusted data-processing support to many leading 3D scanning service providers.
If you would like to discuss your requirements, call us on 01565 325005 or send us the details of your project to request an estimate or quotation.
Civil Engineering Surveys
High-Accuracy 3D Scanning at Any Scale
Powered by the FARO Focus 360, our advanced 3D scanning services capture large, complex indoor and outdoor environments with exceptional precision and clarity.
From construction sites and industrial facilities to infrastructure, heritage buildings, and forensic scenes, we create highly detailed digital twins built from millions of accurate 3D data points.
The result is dependable data that supports as-built models, BIM, quality assurance, surveying, and in-depth analysis across architecture, engineering, construction, operations, and product design.
