best 3d digitizer/scaner for reverse engineering
(OP)
Hello
I work in a company in the field of reverse engineering. We want to purchase a 3D digitizer/scanner.
What is the best manufacturer for this equipment.please advice me about hardware and software.
Thank you

Not all companies offering reverse engineering services are IP thieves. To suggest they are is akin to saying all motorcyclists are members of the Hell's Angels, or all politicians are self-serving liars. Well maybe that last one wasn't such a good example.

It is better to have enough ideas for some of them to be wrong, than to be always right by having no ideas at all.

RE: best 3d digitizer/scaner for reverse engineering
Sure that's one possible application of the technology but there are lots of other good reasons.
Some of our products mount onto Inverted Optical Microscopes as an accessory. Sadly Zeiss, Olympus, Nikon, Leica... aren't great at sharing data especially given our relatively low volumes.
So scanning their product to get an idea of interfaces seems an entirely justifiable practice.
As would reverse engineering out of production parts and various other applications.
Sorry OP, we didn't get far with our 3D scanning experiments so I can't help.

RE: best 3d digitizer/scaner for reverse engineering
When it is used correctly, the term "reverse engineering" does not mean copying another design to reproduce the exact same part. There are a number of legitimate uses. I don't think I strictly agree with pirating out of production parts. Someone still owns the IP, maybe they quit making parts to force people to buy the newer model (not that I agree with that strategy, but it still doesn't give anyone an ethical pass for pirating.)
Anyway, most reliable method is to put the parts on a machine (that you should have if you are going to be producing these parts you are "reverse engineering.") If your only product is drawings produced from components (you are dealing almost exclusively in IP theft) well then I'm not sure I want to help.
