Reverse Engineering: A Review & Evaluation of Contact Based Systems

  • Chapter
Rapid Prototyping

Part of the book series: Manufacturing Systems Engineering Series ((MSES,volume 6))

Abstract

This chapter focuses on contact based reverse engineering systems. The major technique that we describe here is the utilization of co-ordinate measuring machines (CMMs). Different types of CMMs available are detailed. In addition the performance parameters of these systems are discussed. This chapter also explains the integration of data acquired from reverse engineering techniques with other design and manufacturing related software systems. This chapter concludes with a brief description of the state-of-the-art CMM technologies.
