SCANOLOGY has just introduced NimbleTrack Gen2. With upgraded technology, SCANOLOGY's NimbleTrack Gen2 is capable of scanning large and complex areas significantly faster, while maintaining measurement-level accuracy. This is the next generation of the company's mobile optical tracking and 3D scanning systems. SCANOLOGY's NimbleTrack Gen2 is designed to deliver higher performance, especially in speed and measurement range.
A breakthrough opportunity for R&D processes awaits the Vietnamese engineering community. The specialized workshop "Driving Engineering Innovation Through Smart Simulation" organized by ANSYS will take place on October 29, 2025, at the Innovation Hub Building, updating the latest advanced simulation solutions for the manufacturing, electronics design, and Nano-Micro industries.
In the global race to automate manufacturing, China is emerging as a pioneer with the “dark factory” model – where robots and artificial intelligence completely replace humans. Requiring no light or rest, the new generation of factories operate continuously 24/7 with superior precision and efficiency.
Hexagon’s Manufacturing Intelligence division has unveiled REcreate, a powerful and flexible new software solution designed ‘from the ground up’ to make it easier and faster to reverse engineer parts from metrology scan to manufacturable model.

Reverse engineering processes are routinely employed throughout manufacturing and maintenance processes. However, despite the availability of highly capable metrology systems, these processes can require complex digital workflows to account for incompatible data types and technologies, which impedes productivity and can introduce errors. Furthermore, those workflows require significant experience and access to multiple tools that can create bottlenecks in many organisations. Hexagon has brought its metrology and production experts together to build REcreate ‘from the bottom up’ to streamline these workflows so that engineers and operators can routinely achieve a high quality, manufacturing-ready result.

Designed to remove complexity, REcreate provides a single working environment from scan to manufacturable CAD model. The user can prepare CAD models and drawings from any point cloud data. Its fully featured CAD tool suite enables users to create complete and manufacturable CAD models as well as 2D engineering drawings. REcreate’s analysis tools also enable manufacturing professionals to interrogate those 3D models and validate whether they are manufacturable before exporting as CAD or STL for computer aided manufacturing (CAM) or additive manufacturing processes.

While designed to be interoperable and slot into a customer’s existing processes, the solution offers additional benefits to customers that use other Hexagon technologies in their workflow. Sites that use Hexagon’s portable arms for inspection can reduce training needs by allowing any operator to read inspection data directly from the device to reverse engineer using a single solution. REcreate is also rigorously tested with Hexagon’s production software tools that are used to plan, optimise, and program machining processes.

Ken Woodbine, REcreate Product Manager says, “We believe that by making reverse engineering software versatile and easy-to-use, REcreate gives design, production and inspection teams greater confidence in their reverse engineering processes. With the laser scanning technologies available today, there’s no reason why most use cases can’t be addressed by anyone who needs them provided they have access to the data and tools required – be that ensuring a precise fit for replacement components, repairing legacy parts or updating design files with adjusted geometries following prototype creation or production optimisations.”
