Reverse Engineering

Because of acquisition, licensing or other reasons, our customers have products that do not have accurate or complete set of drawings. They have a need to develop good engineering drawings for tools that they own for manufacturing purposes. UFT has the capability to reverse engineer existing parts by using the latest technology in measurement through digitizing and scanning. UFT can determine the metallurgy, hardness; surface finishes, and measure dimensions very accurately. Using this technology and the CAD capability, UFT engineers reverse our customer’s existing technology.

• Data collection & Study of physical model.
• Measurement of component dimensions.
• Study of fit requirements and application of tolerances.
• Specification of material and Heat treatment.
• Modeling and generating manufacturing drawings.
• Establishment of manufacturing process and quality plans.
• Identification of tooling requirement and design.
• Establishment of assembly and testing procedures.
• Prototype manufacturing - Testing and approval.
• Final Documentation.

Reverse engineering involves producing 3D models and later on drawing for the manufacturable parts, when a blueprint drawing for that physical component is not available in order to remanufacture that part. We use the Laser scanning and coordinate measuring machine (CMM) to scan the profile of the component.Once scan data is obtained surfaces of the model is developed from which the CAD model of the physical component is obtained.
