Reverse Engineering is the measurement of a physical part and the subsequent creation of a computer model that represents the part. The challenge in Reverse Engineering is to create a compromise between how closely surfaces match the imperfect physical object while still satisfying CAD system requirements. Exemplar’s engineers are skilled in creating the perfect balance between accuracy and developed surface quality.
Look to Exemplar for:
Data collection that accurately captures the desired shape
Reverse engineering of complex part geometries
Appropriate surface edge continuity
Results that are compatible with your CAD system
Exemplar provides a complete Reverse Engineering solution. We will select the most appropriate measurement device based on size, surface complexity and required accuracy. We will identify the location of measurements based on experience with similar projects. Finally, we will create a NURBS surface model that can be imported into your CAD system.
In this
airplane cockpit model,
a 90% reduction in the total number of surfaces was achieved while maintaining the required accuracy. This reduced the model size, making it easier to import into the CAD system.
