Abstract
The purpose of reverse engineering is to obtain a shape model of the digitized object, in the form of a geometric model, machined object, RP part etc. Regardless of the final form of the shape model, reverse engineering consists of three major phases: digitizing, surface construction and shape-model creation. Presented in this chapter is a step-by-step procedure for generating NC tool-paths from optically digitized data, better known as cloud-of-points data, generated by laser-scanning machines of a specific type.
