Function of reverse engineering

Reverse engineering is widely used in new product development and product modification design, product imitation, quality analysis and testing. Its functions are:

1, shortening the design and development cycle of products and speeding up the upgrading of products;

2. Reduce the cost and risk of developing new products;

3. Accelerate product modeling and serialization design;

4. It is suitable for the manufacture of single-piece and small-batch parts, especially molds, which can be divided into direct molding and indirect molding. Direct molding method: the rapid direct molding method based on RP technology is to directly manufacture and mold the results of mold CAD through RP system. This method does not need to use RP system to make samples, nor does it rely on traditional mold manufacturing technology. It is especially suitable for metal mold manufacturing, and it is a promising mold manufacturing method. Indirect mold making method: Indirect mold making method is to use RP technology to make the prototype of product parts, take the prototype as the mother mold, mold core or mold making tool (grinding mold), and then combine traditional mold making technology to make the required mold.
