Reverse engineering services are becoming more and more popular with the development of technical progress. In the face of fierce competition, manufacturers are trying to simplify the process of developing a new product, as well as to get a worthy alternative to parts that are out of order.
How is reverse engineering done?
Specialists who carry out reverse engineering reverse, in fact, read information from objects. This requires special equipment (3D printer, 3D scanner) that reads data from a real object and automatically converts them into electronic format.
This method of operation is necessary when the manufacturer needs to replicate an existing object and there is no documentation. A full-fledged CAD model of the part appears in the program, which can be printed on a 3D printer or created on a CNC machine.
Copying and subsequent revision of objects without actual development allows launching the production of new products with minimal costs. It is also possible to recreate failed nodes. For example, you bought machines abroad, the components are unreasonably expensive, and an important part breaks down. With reverse engineering, you electronically recreate a copy of this part, order it from a local manufacturer, and restart the machine.
The price of reverse engineering depends on many factors, such as the complexity of the work, the timing of the task and special requirements customer. Before starting cooperation, the customer always fills out a special form, according to which the contractor calculates the final cost.
In some cases, in addition to specialized equipment, you may need industrial 3D printer , which is available in the arsenal of serious companies providing services to large enterprises.
Benefits of reverse engineering
The reverse engineering method allows you to solve a lot of complex problems that a design bureau cannot cope with in a short time.
- Recovering lost documentation
- Production of objects with no documentation
- Checking finished products for compliance with requirements
- Control of product geometry and wear of existing mechanisms
- Reverse engineering any object
- Equipment tooling repair
With the availability of modern technology and reliable partners, reverse engineering will help to recreate any (even complex) product, the name is only one sample.
