Reverse engineering and 3D scanning are critical tools for remanufacturing components in the context of the circular economy. By disassembling and measuring existing components, companies can design and develop new parts replacing the old ones, parts that are compatible with the original equipment, either to repair faulty subassemblies, or to improve efficiency or functionality. 3D scanning captures all information needed to reproduce components, allowing them to be created using additive manufacturing processes. Combining these technologies reduces waste by maximizing the use of existing products, and it reduces the amount of new raw materials and energy required for remanufacturing as well. The circular economy encourages companies to embrace a sustainable approach by considering the entire product lifecycle. Adopting these principles leads to a more environmentally friendly business model, avoids waste, reduces material consumption, and creates new revenue streams for remanufactured products. The current paper shows a way of adapting the principle of reverse engineering and a particular way of involving 3D scanning and 3D printing for the remanufacturing of hydraulic system components by using additive manufacturing. The use of 3D scanning is necessary in the reverse engineering process especially for components with complex geometry; in the present paper, the geometry of such a component is created.
