Reverse engineering (RE) is the process of discovering the technological principles of a device, object or system through analysis of its structure, function and operation. It often involves taking something (e.g., a mechanical device, electronic component, or software program) apart and analyzing its workings in detail to be used in maintenance or to try to make a new device or program that does the same thing without using or simply duplicating any part of the original.

As computer-aided design (CAD) has become more popular, reverse engineering has become a viable method to create a 3D virtual model of an existing physical part for use in 3D computer-aided design (CAD), computer-aided manufacturing (CAM), computer-aided engineering (CAE) or other software. The reverse-engineering process involves measuring an object and then reconstructing it as a 3D model. The physical object can be measured using 3D scanning technologies like coordinate measuring machines (CMM), laser scanners, structured light digitizers or computed tomography. The measured data alone, usually represented as a point cloud, lacks topological information and is therefore often processed and modeled into a more usable format such as a triangular-faced mesh, a set of NURBS surfaces or a CAD model. Point clouds are not compatible with many 3D software therefore Reverse Engineering software can convert the point clouds into formats that can be used in visualizations or in software like 3D CAD, CAM, CAE.

Reverse Engineering Service

It’s hard and not accurate to draw parts in digital platforms by using the traditional ways of measuring them in real life in order to get digital data to be used in computer if you have a part that needs to be changed, developed or manufactured.

In Reverse Engineering you can obtain the data of these parts in STL or point cloud formats in a shorter time with the help of 3D laser or optical scanning systems. CAD models of the scanned-measured parts are created through the help of the NURBS splines which are accurately obtained from these data.

Purpose of the Reverse Engineering Process

Reverse Engineering method is often used for creating 3D surfaces or solid models by using STL data.

+ Processes which take days or weeks to duplicate a part with traditional ways can be accomplished in hours just by duplicating the product through scanning and rapid processing.

+ Reverse Engineering method is also used to reform and process the deformed-ruined tools, molds, dies and parts.

Here are some examples that we have accomplished.
