Reverse Engineering

Several of the Fortune 500 companies are now outsourcing their reverse engineering jobs to specialist firms with in-house expertise like Axis-IT&T who have proven expertise in the component design process.

The process of re-creating a design by analyzing the finished product is known as reverse engineering. Reverse engineering in mechanical design increases the designer's productivity by automatically creating the 2D and 3D drawings and wire models from the physical model.

Axis-IT&T has considerable expertise in re-engineering and modifying an existing product using the techniques of reverse engineering. The process involves:

• Analyzing the existing product
  
• Identifying the product components and their relationships
  
• Creating representations of the systems in another form

Axis-IT&T uses white light scanned data to reverse engineer and create 3D models. The equipment used for capturing the point cloud data of the components are:

• White light scanner - for non contact type scanning
  
• Laser scanner - for non contact type scanning
  
• CMM - touch probe contact type scanner

The point cloud data of the component, in multiple exposures, is aligned using the software- IMAlign. The solid model of the part is then created using the software - Surfacer. 3D models and designs are created by incorporating engineering and tooling requirements, such as shrink factors, draft angles, under cuts and flange details. Irregularities on the surface of the components are eliminated during the reverse engineering process.

Axis-IT&T has achieved more than 98% conformance in the first trial itself, for the reverse engineering of:

• Automotive components
  
• Mechanical engineering parts
  
• White goods
  
• Toys
  
• Electrical components
  
• Sub-assemblies
  
• Machine tool
