Abstract Scope |
The progressive integration of reverse engineering and 3D printing technologies has revolutionized the realm of spare part reconstruction. In this study, we aimed to explore the efficacy of this synergy through a comparative analysis of dimensional geometry. Initially, employing Laser Scanning and Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM), we captured the intricate geometry of an obsolete damaged part. Subsequently, CAD models are generated for post-scanning reconstruction for both scanning methods. Leveraging Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM), we fabricated parts based on the CAD models from both scanning methods. Through precise dimensional measurements, we rigorously compare the accuracy of the printed parts with the original. This research underscores the potential of reverse engineering and 3D printing in industrial applications, particularly in spare part reconstruction. Our findings provide valuable insights into enhancing efficiency and accuracy in the replacement of damaged components. |
