Laser and structured-light 3D scanners capture physical objects as dense STL triangular meshes. Converting those non-parametric surfaces into functional, editable CAD solids is a core reverse engineering skill.
Modern CAD suites provide specialized tools to extract sketch profiles and design intent from scan data.
