Today, such a practice still exists in the automotive design industry, but with more sophisticated methods like CAD services and 3D scanning, the practice has evolved.
Define Reverse Engineering
Reverse engineering is a kind of invention improving or sometimes by stealing & copying existing technology. An example of a self explanatory term is Reverse engineering, which is disassembling something and figuring out how it works before reassembling it. Some companies have imported products from other countries to reverse engineer and modify them.
Reverse Engineering Process
The process of reverse engineering includes more than just taking things apart; it also involves analyzing specifications and how they were manufactured. In order to determine physical properties of materials, it is important to generate data nearly identical to the original regarding dimensions and materials.
In addition to revealing its strengths, there can also be information about its weaknesses. By scanning an object or a product in 3D, you can compile all those valuable insights.
3D Scanning
3D scanners generate polygon meshes by combining laser and distance measurements. A laser triangulation system is used by some 3D scanning services to create a map of an object. By recording the time it takes for laser beams to hit a surface and return, others use time of flight systems to mirror an object's dimensions.
The data generated from a single scan cannot create a complete 3D model; a collection of scans based on a standard reference system is needed to produce a complete 3D model.
