CAD/CAM: Reverse Engineering Applications

by J. M. Daschbach, The Univ of Toledo, United States,
Robert J. Abella, The Univ of Toledo, United States,

Document Type: Proceeding Paper

Part of: University Programs in Computer-Aided Engineering, Design, and Manufacturing

Abstract:

The reproduction of parts for which drawings or CAD files are not available has always caused engineering effort to be expended in a non-routine manner. The need for such a reverse engineering technique has been highlighted by the technical media over the last year. Commercially advertised systems have certain drawbacks. A system developed by university personnel in Toledo, Ohio provides insight on the difficulties of the problem and the means to solving this need for part reproduction.
