Role of Reverse Engineering and 3D Laser Scanning in Part Duplication

Reverse Engineering word was originally coined from the practice of skilfully emulating complex design and prototypes of competitors products. 

Reverse engineering techniques helps the developer to reduce time to market for the component and find out possible improvement. It also reduces the time spent in designing, testing and optimizing component with economy.

Reverse engineering is now considered legal activity with new technology like Laser Scanning Services and 3D digitizing. 

CAD Reverse engineering is helpful for companies who want to reduce errors generated previously due to faulty applications. With reverse engineering, one can optimize components easily and speedily.

In this process firstly the technician fragments each and every component of the assembly. He then scans individual part or component using contact or non-contact article inspection methods. 

This 3D scans are then converted into 3D models using Solidworks or Pro-Engineer software with 100% accuracy for further applications. Sometimes you need manufacturing analysis for optimization and developing prototypes.

It is also important to note that product or part reverse engineering services have it own risks and challenges. You may lend in trouble if the design is patented and you have no legal rights to use or modify the design without written permission and necessary approvals.
