You don’t need pricey software to reverse engineer your 3D scan data. Just recreate the part as it was originally designed—this is the most accurate approach. While professional CAD tools can be costly for beginners, FreeCAD offers a powerful free alternative. In this video, I’ll walk you through a step-by-step process to model your scan and prepare it for CNC milling. Once done, you can export a STEP file and send it to a service like RapidDirect for machining.
