The Art of Reverse Engineering

What is Reverse Engineering?

• Design of a new part
• Copy of an existing part
• Recovery of a damaged and broken part

Importance

• Wheel should not be invented again, if that's already done.
• To optimize a product.
• An efficient approach of reducing product development cycle.

Advantages

• Saves cost on developing new products.
• Reduces maintenance cost.
• Improves Quality of an existing product.
• Gives competitive advantage over others.

The Process

• Digitalization of the data capturing.
• Processing of measured data.
• Creation of CAD model.
• Prototype

Applications

• Design of a new component.
• Reproduction of an existing component.
• Improving quality and efficiency of existing parts.

That's it. :)
