FARO scanning
Point-cloud comparison with CAD.
CBM’s engineering staff supports manufacturing: reverse engineering worn or undocumented parts, building 3D CAD models and 2D engineered drawings, and programming the machines that make the part. The team works in SolidWorks, AutoCAD, Esprit and Edgecam, and measures existing parts with FARO scanning and laser tracking.
For lifting beams, structural components, stands and lifting fixtures, CBM offers structural inspection and engineering certification with a Professional Engineering stamp.

What engineering covers at CBM
Reverse engineering
A worn, broken or undocumented part is measured with FARO scanning and laser tracking, then modeled in 3D CAD.
Drawings and programming
2D engineered drawings from SolidWorks and AutoCAD, and CNC programs in Esprit and Edgecam for our own machines.
Structural certification
Structural inspection and engineering certification for lifting beams, structural components, stands and lifting fixtures, with a Professional Engineering stamp.
What you can send us

Common questions
Can CBM reverse engineer a part?
Yes. Our engineers use 3D CAD software to model the part and create 2D engineered drawings, and the FARO ScanArm compares scanned point clouds with CAD.
Does CBM provide P.E. stamps?
Yes. Structural inspection and engineering certification services cover lifting beams, structural components, stands and lifting fixtures, with a Professional Engineering stamp.
Which software does CBM use?
SolidWorks, Esprit, AutoCAD and Edgecam.
Can CBM manufacture the part after reverse engineering it?
Yes. The part can be machined, welded, inspected and finished in the same facility.
What certifications does CBM hold?
CBM is certified to ISO 9001:2015 by Perry Johnson Registrars, and is a woman-owned business.
