What is the relationship between reverse engineering, rapid prototyping, rapid tooling

Reverse engineering, rapid prototyping, and rapid tooling are closely related concepts that are closely linked in the product development and manufacturing process.

Reverse engineering is the process of scanning, measuring, and analyzing existing products or components to obtain information such as their geometry, structure, and function. Reverse engineering can be used to replicate and study existing products, or to make design improvements and repairs.

Rapid prototyping refers to the use of rapid manufacturing technology to quickly produce a physical model of a product through 3D printing, CNC machining, laser cutting and other methods. Rapid prototyping can be used to quickly validate design concepts, conduct functional testing, and market verification, among other things, and shorten the product development cycle.

Rapid tooling refers to the use of rapid manufacturing technology to quickly make molds for short-term production. Rapid tooling can quickly produce mass prototypes or small batches of products, which can be used to quickly respond to market demand or conduct small-scale trial production.

The relationship between them can be simply described as: reverse engineering provides information about the geometry and structure of the product, rapid prototyping technology can quickly make a physical model of the product based on this information, and rapid tooling technology can quickly make a mold for short-term production based on the results of rapid prototyping or reverse engineering, so as to achieve small-scale production of the product.

In summary, reverse engineering, rapid prototyping, and rapid tooling are interrelated and work together to provide a fast and efficient solution for product development and manufacturing, speeding up the time to market and market feedback, and improving the competitiveness of the product.

Reverse engineering technology can obtain spatial 3D data, use reverse engineering software to process the obtained measurement data, build 3D digital models, detect and modify molds, and reduce secondary development work and the cost of workpieces.

I'll tell you about it backwards. The mold industry is a relatively high-precision processing, and it is also very time-consuming and laborious to manufacture. In the first few years of the processing industry, the mold industry stagnated, largely unable to meet the required precision requirements, and manual mold repair was out.

After the emergence of domestic reverse technology, it has greatly solved the cycle of mold molding. And the precision is high, and the efficiency is fast.

Mold design, mold repair, sample testing, etc.

Brother Wangzi also has mineral water! You're funny. Seriously, the mold industry has high requirements for reverse engineering technology.

When I went to Changde in the past, I followed the boss and began to learn molds. Industrial testing has also been used. It mainly depends on the needs of customers.

We used to outsource these things to do, but now we have bought too much equipment, and it feels okay, sometimes when the bus is complicated, when it needs to be modified. It's all useful. For detection, we still use CMM to do reverse detection.

That's about it. Hope it helps you. Watch hit so much.

Don't give a little bit yet.

Mold inspection, mold repair, sample processing, reverse engineering to reshape the model and open the mold.

In the process of mold manufacturing, it is often necessary to repeatedly test punch and modify the mold profile. If the mold that finally meets the requirements is measured and its digital model is reversed, this standby digital model can be used to generate a processing program when the mold is repeatedly manufactured, which can greatly improve the mold production efficiency and reduce the mold manufacturing cost.

The main thing is mold inspection, because molds generally need to be assembled, and there are high requirements for accuracy, so the use of reverse engineering is a good solution.

Reverse engineering, also known as reverse engineering or reverse engineering, is the construction of an engineering design model of a product or part based on the prototype of an existing product or part, and on this basis, the existing product is analyzed, understood and improved, which is a redesign of the existing design. To put it simply, it is designed according to the model twice.

The mold is rarely reversed, generally the product is reversed, and then the mold is opened. Because the accuracy of the mold is generally relatively high, it is a bit difficult to directly reverse the mold. Of course, it's not impossible.

The so-called reverse is to obtain data by means of measurement (for example, three coordinates, laser number readers, and even some can be measured with calipers and height gauges). After obtaining the data, the drawings are drawn to create a mold that is in the original phase, and the main and standby molds are generally made. I am afraid that the original mold is broken and cannot be repaired, and there is no drawing of the original mold, so the mold will be reversed.

But usually the product is reversed, and then the mold is opened.

Advanced mold manufacturing technology mainly includes reverse engineering technology of mold manufacturing, which also includes rapid prototyping technology and rapid mold manufacturing technology. Rapid prototyping technology refers to the rapid prototyping machine to make a three-dimensional product drawing (note to generate. STL format saving) technology that can quickly make 3D models, mainly to find the problem of 3D modeling, thereby shortening the mold design cycle.

Rapid tooling refers to the design of silicone molds through samples, which requires a high technical content, and I have only done some experiments on this, but because the equipment has a problem and is stranded, it may not help you, but I suggest that you can start from the aspect of reverse engineering, to consult some information, you should be able to get very valuable information. Good luck!
