Reverse engineering is a process of captivating apart an item to observe and make out how it functions in order to replicate or improve the thing. It entails generating 3-D images of manufactured components when a blue print is not accessible in order to re-manufacture the part.
As the demand and popularity of Computer Aided Design (CAD) has increased, reverse engineering is becoming a feasible technique to generate 3D virtual replica or model of a presented physical part to bring into play in 3D CAD and CAM. Reverse Engineering process requires measuring an object and recreating it as a 3D model. One can measure a physical object by using 3D scanning technologies. 3D scanning technologies like CMMs (Coordinate Measuring Machine), laser 3D scanners, structured light digitizers or computed tomography are few of the popular techniques used for reverse engineering.
A 3D scanner is a device used to analyze the real-world objects or environments tin order to collect data on its shape and probably its appearance like color. These collected data are then used to build digital, three dimensional models useful for a broad array of applications. Three dimensional scanners are widely used by the entertainment, medical and other high end industries. Other widespread uses of this technology include industrial design, reverse engineering and prototyping services.
Applications like RapidForm or GeoMagic are used to process the point clouds into the formats like a triangular faced mesh, a set of NURBS (Non-uniform rational B-spline) surfaces or a CAD model that make the measured data serviceable in other applications such as 3D CAD/CAM or visualizations.
Many engineering and manufacturing companies are providing complete series of laser scanning services and are using the world's most advanced 3D scanning tools and data processing software to benefit their clients. Benefit of Reverse Engineering is that it helps in minimize engineering, design time, costs, and also reproduce part in CAD with accuracy.
