Abstract
At Laboratory of Design Tools and Methods in Industrial Engineering, University of Padova, the FIRE project “Functional Integrated Reverse Engineering” was started, which focuses in the realisation of a novel technological environment for performing the reverse engineering of functional prototypes or products. This environment consists of hardware technologies, a multi-probes system integrated in a 5-axis machine, and of software technologies, a software module aimed at phases of preprocessing, correction and analysis of the acquired data. In the present work, an introduction to the project is given together with the description of the equipment and the software module characteristic already set up, with some example of reconstruction of functional surfaces.
