RE:ENGINEER — A Fusion 360 Add-in for Reverse Engineering

re-engineerfusion360pythonreverse-engineeringaicadtools

Reverse engineering a physical part in Fusion 360 is more painful than it needs to be.

You've got a component in your hand. Maybe it's a motor from a discontinued sim wheel. Maybe it's a bearing with no documentation. Maybe it's a PCB from something that no longer exists. You want to model it — but first you need to understand it.

The workflow right now: take photos on your phone, transfer them, open them in a separate viewer, manually import to canvas, guess at the scale, dig through search engines for datasheets, save PDFs to a random folder, and somehow keep track of which file belongs to which project.

RE:ENGINEER is a Fusion 360 add-in that makes that process a single coherent workflow.

What It Does

A side panel opens in Fusion. Everything lives there.

Projects — named workspaces with a fixed folder structure: reference photos, OEM docs, canvas imports, exports, notes. Create one per part or assembly.

Reference photos — browse shots from inside the panel. One click imports a photo to the Fusion canvas. If you placed an ArUco marker next to the part when you photographed it and entered its real-world size, the canvas image is placed at correct real-world scale automatically. No manual fiddling.

AI scan — photograph the part with visible markings, hit Scan Image, and the AI reads every part number, model code, manufacturer name, and identifier it can find. Results come back as clickable chips.

OEM docs — search Octopart for datasheets by part number. Web search launchers for Google, Alldatasheet, and Manualslib. Paste any URL directly to download a PDF straight to the project folder. Everything ends up in one place.

AI analysis — attach a reference photo, ask anything. What thread standard is this likely to be? What material? How was this assembled? What are the standard bearing sizes for this housing?

The Part Scan

The most immediately useful feature is the part marking scan.

Photograph the component. Drop the image into the project's references folder. Hit the AI button next to it, switch to the OEM tab, hit Scan Image. The AI reads the photo and returns every identifier it can find — part numbers, manufacturer codes, spec values, certification marks.

On a servo motor photo it pulled:

  • 80ST-AM02430 — the model number
  • HANGZHOU MISE ELECTRIC CO. LTD — manufacturer
  • AC SERVO MOTOR — component type
  • 220V, 3A, 0.75kW — electrical specs
  • ISO9001-2008, CE — certifications

Click a chip, click the Octopart search field — value drops in. Search. If the part is in the database, datasheets download directly to the project folder.

For parts Octopart doesn't cover (Chinese servo motors, mechanical assemblies, anything obscure), the web search launchers open a targeted search in your browser. Find the doc, copy the URL, paste it back — one click to save.

Scale-Accurate Canvas Import

The harder problem is getting reference photos into Fusion at the right scale.

The solution: ArUco markers. Print one from the DICT_4X4_50 set at a known physical size — 50mm is a good default. Place it in frame when photographing the part. RE:ENGINEER detects the marker, calculates pixels-per-millimetre, and sets the Fusion canvas dimensions accordingly.

The photo lands on the canvas at real-world scale. Sketch directly over it.

Requires opencv-contrib-python. If it's not installed, photos are placed at default Fusion canvas scale with a note explaining why.

Bring Your Own Keys

RE:ENGINEER doesn't run any backend. No cloud, no subscription, no usage costs passed on.

You supply your own API keys:

  • Claude or OpenAI — for the AI scan and analysis features
  • Nexar (free account at nexar.com) — for Octopart datasheet search

Keys are stored locally in ~/.re-engineer/config.json. They never leave your machine except to go directly to the API provider you chose.

Status

This is early development. The project browser, AI scan, OEM doc finder, and pick-and-place are working. Canvas import is built and needs testing with real hardware. A few things still to do: inline notes editor, unified scan-to-search flow, PDF preview.

It'll be a paid tool when it's ready. Price not set yet.

Built with the Fusion 360 Python Add-in API, Claude vision, and the Nexar/Octopart GraphQL API.
