| Abstract Scope |
Reverse engineering is a preferred solution for reproducing obsolete parts. Additive manufacturing made significant impact on the manufacturing industry throughout the world. There are various application fields where additive manufacturing can make significant impacts, and one of these fields is the aerospace industry. This study presents technologies and methodologies for reverse engineering, illustrated by a stainless steel lever part from an aircraft control assembly. It involves the reconstruction of part geometry using laser scanning, fabrication of the pattern for sand casting using material extrusion additive manufacturing technology, and reversed part fabrication using sand casting. It was found that the fabrication of patterns directly from reverse-engineered computer-aided design (CAD) data using a suitable additive manufacturing technique provides a reliable and economic path for rapid product development of complicated one-off parts for replacement purposes. The process of reverse engineering comprises laser scanning, CAD data, and manufacturing steps to make the part successful. |
