Abstract Scope |
This study presents a detailed investigation into the integration of reverse engineering and 3D printing methodologies for reconstructing mechanical components, with a specific focus on a flange as a case study. The study is structured into three distinct phases: the scanning phase, where the flange geometry is meticulously captured using Faroarm laser scanning technology to ensure precise data acquisition; the post-processing phase, where the acquired scan data undergoes comprehensive post-processing to generate a highly accurate CAD model, necessitating meticulous attention to detail; and the printing phase, where the CAD model is translated into a physical prototype of the flange using FDM 3D printing. The paper discusses challenges encountered in each phase, highlighting complexities inherent in scanning, post-processing, and the printing process. Through this analysis, it emphasizes the effectiveness of reverse engineering and 3D printing in overcoming obstacles in mechanical component reconstruction. |
