Reverse Engineering

Reverse engineering involves rebuilding or analyzing existing parts or systems to understand their design, function, and production. The process typically involves scanning or measuring a part to obtain its dimensions, using that data to create 2D or 3D models, and then building prototypes. Reverse engineering is used for faster prototyping, to recreate older parts, and to understand how existing products work. It requires significant equipment, skills, and understanding of the subject.

Reverse Engineering

Richard Black Zack Garcia


Reverse Engineering: The Basics

● Rebuilding a part based of an existing design

● Used to recreate older parts

● Faster prototyping, production and efficiency

● Reverse engineering has been used as long as


manufactured parts have been made.
The Process (Part 1)
● Scan/Measure
There are many tools that can be used to find the dimensions of an
object.

● Data Process
Once every necessary dimension is know, this information can be
assigned to a 2D or 3D drawing or rendering of a part.

● Assembly
Combining all parts drawing into a diagram.
The Process (Part 2)

● Reconstruction/Prototype
Building a functional 3D copy of the machine based on the technical
drawings.

● Production
The finished product.
Examples of Reverse Engineering

● Creating a less expensive version of a product

● Reproducing a machine part that no longer exists

● Learning how a product/part/system works

● Analyzing a broken or damaged part


Advantages/Challenges

Challenges

Advantages ● Requires lots of equipment

● Requires a large skill set

● Requires a deep understanding of


● Leads to higher understanding of
the subject
the object

● Finding faults in the design of a

product

● Ability to implement new design

innovations to old things


Conclusion

How you can apply it

● The reverse engineering process requires the use of hardware like measuring tools and 3D
Printers

● CAD programs like AutoCAD and Solidworks are essential parts of the design process

● Similar techniques in the reverse engineering process are used to fabricate objects from a
design sheet
