Abstract Implementation of a new laser scanner has helped a model and prototype shop increase its sales by developing a new reverse engineering business. Jerry Fain Models (Bedford, TX) has long been successful providing prototyping and modeling services to clients in a wide range of markets. The company uses a portable laser-based coordinate measuring machine (CMM) to measure dimensions of critical components, but the device is able to reverse engineer only simple geometries. Learning of a demand from its customers for more capabilities in this area, the company purchased a ModelMaker laser scanner that can generate surface models of the most complex geometries by creating a highly dense, highly accurate point cloud from which to construct digital surfaces. The company specializes in producing small quantities of complicated components. A prime business area is custom-made fittings for luxury jet manufacturers such as Gulfstream and Bombardier. XX
