Reverse Engineering Oostdam Engineering
Reverse engineering (to extract the design from an existing product) Object Scan Point cloud Design (CAD ) Oostdam Engineering
How? (1/5) Point cloud of an impeller
How? (2/5) Sketch based on the point cloud
How? (3/5) Sketch placed over impeller vane based on a point cloud
How? (4/5) Impeller vane gets thickness
How? (5/5) Design (CAD)
Why? Short time-to-market when using 3D scanning Shortens product development time Shortens production process Product improvements Original design not available Controle CAD design
