The global market for 3D reverse engineering software refers to the industry's needs by offering solutions to capture, analyze, and reconstruct physical objects into accurate digital 3D models. This involves the scanning of already existing products, components, or prototypes for the creation of accurate CAD models, which may then be used for design modification, quality inspection, or reproduction.

The global 3D reverse engineering software market size was worth around USD 321.37 million in 2024 and is predicted to grow to around USD 567.43 million by 2035 with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.3% from 2025 to 2035. The growing adoption of 3D scanning and printing technologies, increasing demand for quality control and inspection in manufacturing, and high demand from the automotive and healthcare industries are expected to drive market growth. The need to support legacy products and accelerate product development also fuels this growth.
