Autodesk Fusion add-in launched for portable CMMs, enable real-time closed-loop shop floor measurement
ReverseEngineering.com® has launched its 2026 Autodesk Fusion Add-In for Portable CMMs -- a fully digital, closed-loop measurement solution that redefines reverse engineering workflows and boosts shop floor efficiency.
The add-in integrates natively with FARO Probe Manager, Hexagon RDS, and leading PCMM hardware -- including FARO Quantum X, Hexagon Absolute Arm, ROMER Arms, and compatible laser scanners. It delivers seamless probe calibration, real-time data capture, and parametric CAD modeling -- all within a single Autodesk Fusion environment.
Powered by proprietary ScanToCAD Push Technology™, the platform extracts feature-based geometry from dense point clouds and instantly converts it into editable CAD features. Engineers can generate solids, parametric surfaces, and production-ready drawings directly from scan data -- eliminating manual modeling and enabling real-time scan-to-drawing workflows.
"When reverse engineering an engine exhaust port, designers need precision splines at precision offsets with full node-to-node continuity," said Braxton Carter application engineer at ReverseEngineering.com . "The 2026 add-in delivers this natively in Fusion -- allowing us to scan, model, validate, and generate production-ready drawings in one seamless, real-time workflow."
Unlike static STL meshes, the solution generates fully editable CAD models with live deviation analysis -- supporting true closed-loop Design-to-Manufacturing (D2M) cycles for industries demanding speed, precision, and traceability.
