Reverse Engineering is the process of duplicating an
existing product without the aid of drawings, documentation, or computer
models.
Normally the product designer creates a drawing showing how
an object is to be built and then the object is manufactured by following the
design drawing.
However, with reverse engineering the steps are inverted and
the object is ‘reverse engineered’ to discover its structure, function and
operation. Therefore, duplication of the part is enabled by capturing physical
dimensions, features and material properties.
The FARO ScanArm is a portable CMM ideally suited for
reverse engineering applications. One key advantage of using the ScanArm to
inspect is that soft, deformable, and complex shapes can be easily inspected
without coming into contact with the part, greatly reducing the risk of
damaging the item.
