See Every Detail. Solve Every Problem.
High-precision inspection and reverse engineering solutions for PCBs, stencils, emulsion screens, phototools, and complex electronics.
Precision Inspection & Reverse Engineering for Complex Electronics
For 30+ years, ScanCAD has helped manufacturers, engineers, and repair teams see more, solve more, and waste less.
Our systems turn high-resolution optical scans into powerful data you can trust — for inspection, measurement, troubleshooting, and complete PCB reverse engineering.
In precision electronics, the difference between success and failure is measured in microns. We provide the missing link between your physical inventory and your digital workflow, ensuring that what you manufacture matches exactly what you designed. Whether you are resurrecting an obsolete product or verifying a new one, we give you the clarity to move forward.
What Our Systems and Services Do
Reverse Engineer Any PCB
Recreate complete manufacturing data — even from old, unsupported, or damaged circuit boards. We capture every trace, via, and layer, producing clean CAD files and documentation compatible with all major EDA tools.
Stencil & Screen Inspection
Catch problems before they hit production. Quickly verify aperture size, position, shape, and quality for laser-cut, e-form, emulsion, and hybrid stencils or screens.
Automated Optical Inspection & Measurement
Instantly inspect and measure flat parts with NIST-Traceable Accuracy. Detect defects, verify features, and compare parts against golden data — all in seconds.
Process Control
Ensure incoming PCBs, stencils, and flat parts match your specifications. Ideal for high-mix manufacturing and environments where quality and repeatability matter.
Services that go further
PCB Reverse Engineering Services
When design files are lost or a board needs to be reproduced, we convert your physical PCB into complete, production-ready CAD data. We offer both destructive and non-destructive methods, delivering Gerber files, schematics, BOMs, and full manufacturing packages across aerospace, defense, medical, automotive, and telecommunications applications.
Quality & Dimensional Analysis
PCB and electronics manufacturing defects often go undetected until they’ve already caused a problem. We measure every feature across PCBs, stencils, screens, phototools, and other flat parts and compare them directly to the original CAD data, catching dimensional errors, registration issues, and fabrication defects before they reach production.
Failure Analysis
When a PCB fails and testing can’t tell you why, we find the answer. We dig into the physical board layer by layer to locate shorts, opens, fabrication defects, and thermal damage inside multilayer PCBs, from prototype failures and field returns to suspected assembly defects and reliability investigations.
Obsolescence & Redesign Support
Discontinued components and aging parts create real risk for long-running electronics programs. We analyze your existing PCB hardware, identify end-of-life components, and give your team the visibility to secure inventory, plan redesigns, or strengthen existing designs before a shortage forces the issue.
Dataset Modernization Services
Legacy PCB films, engineering drawings, and original artwork don’t last forever. We digitize and convert aging media into high-resolution raster files or production-ready Gerber 274X data, keeping decades of design information preserved and usable in modern CAD and CAM workflows.
