The reverse engineering process shown at a Silver-Arrow Racing car from 1954. The original car (1) was scanned in 14 hours and a point cloud (2) with 98 million points was created. The point cloud was then cross section with axes parallel sections with 2 centimeter distance to reduce the number of points (3). On the cross sections a CAD-modell (4) was designed in 80 working hours. Based on the CAD-modell a new car (5) was build in original scale.
