Reverse engineering, or sometimes called back engineering, is the process of extracting knowledge or design information from anything man-made and reproducing it. The process requires both hardware and software tools. The hardware (laser trackers or laser scanners) takes the measurements of an object and the software (CAD or CAM systems) reconstructs it as a 3-D model.
Portable scanning technology has enabled design engineers to deliver reverse engineering outcomes at a quicker turnaround time. The Faro Arm, a portable coordinate measuring machine, can easily and accurately meet a variety of dimensional measurement needs including on-machine and in-line inspection and CAD comparison, to ensure proper tolerances and machine alignment.
Many manufacturers struggle with fast sourcing of accurate and high quality change parts for their machine components. In many cases, machines may be outdated and change parts for it may have been discontinued. In other cases, design documentation for the needed parts may have been lost.
Manufacturers who source original OEM parts may experience long lead times and be subjected to high costs of acquiring these parts. Some manufacturers may simply want to improve their machines and processes, and require precise engineered components to implement innovations or new processes in their facility. These are all common issues that reverse engineering can help address.
Through reverse engineering, design engineers can efficiently create change parts that an original equipment manufacturer can no longer supply. It can also enable them to discover how the efficiency, power, and even lifespan of equipment can be improved. Let’s take a look at 3 ways manufacturers can benefit from reverse engineering.
