Damaged or broken parts are usually too expensive to replace or are no longer available. Reverse engineering can be defined as the systematic evaluation of a product for replication. It involves designing a new part, copying an existing part, restoring a damaged or broken part, improving the accuracy of a model, and inspecting a digital model. The benefits of the technique include immediate feedback, data reduction, direct geometry generation, and higher accuracy of the end product. This article demonstrates some usage possibilities and the benefits of using reverse engineering methodologies and techniques in the production process, especially if there are parts without 3D CAD support.

The purpose of reverse engineering is to test and improve its products, to evaluate competing products and their technical characteristics, to simulate their performance dynamics with other structural units or in the environment, to assess violations of potential copyrights, etc. Therefore, reverse engineering is an indispensable tool for improving existing products and developing new products.

Reverse engineering is an essential department of the geometrical layout and manufacture application area, and this method has been extensively diagnosed as being an essential step within side the product improvement cycle. The use of reverse engineering will in large part lower the production time and costs. Reverse engineering is the procedure of manufacturing layout information within side the shape of CAD version from the bodily component within side the procedure of the product layout. In evaluation to the conventional manufacturing sequence, opposite engineering generally begins with measuring a current object, so that a strong version may be deduced on the way to employ the benefits of CAD/CAM/CAE technologies.

 

Reverse engineering technique incorporates three foremost steps which are used to extract expertise approximately the design, material, structure, floor qualities, and working situations of the product etc. The procedural steps are described as the scanning phase, factor processing phase and solid modelling. Before reverse engineering, some factors have to be taken into consideration in making plans, including motives for which an element is to be reverse engineered, element size, element complexity, element material, element geometry, element finish, etc.

Ability to reduce inspection times or turnaround times, reverse engineering approaches are gaining popularity in today’s competitive market as today’s global environment is rapidly changing and seeking new ways to overcome the time constraints and find new products and improve them. But future work is also needed in this area as there is potential for improving reverse engineering approaches as they lack efficiency and accuracy. Most reverse engineering algorithms require additional improvements for better results and less chance of errors.

Today, automotive designs and manufacturing is not only about designing aesthetic and appealing aerodynamic CAD models. Instead, it is focused on making design and manufacturing processes more accessible to the stakeholders through efficient product lifecycle management systems. Let’s have a look how CAD have enhanced the process of car designing and made it more accessible:

The use of APS in New Ford GT40s

APS utilizes CAD Design with SolidWorks and simulation tools for designing Ford GT40s to cut the cost of designs by 50%. The tool reduces the assembling time by 40% which in turn decrease the overall development cost and make it more accessible.

Ford manages the maintenance cost tolerance

Ford Company has employed Sigmundworks, Sigmund ABA and SOLIDWORKS to keep up the tolerances. These plug-ins greatly help to identify the design bugs, which are addressed and treated before they result in significant monetary losses.

JL Race cars simulating and modeling

Since beginning JLE has been using CAD- 2D, AutoCAD Mechanical, and 3D SOLIDWORKS platforms. These tools have efficiently reduced the design cycle’s cost by 70%. Moreover, JLE has standardized its product lifecycle by using SOLIDWORKS designs, analysis, and product data management solutions.

Overall, with these CAD tools the efficiency, performance, and accessibility of the automotive industry can be increased manifolds.

The field of Mechanical Designing has undergone radical changes. Mechanical professionals are now using computer-aided tools and applications to design and develop the three-dimensional models of the mechanical devices.

There is an array of different courses that mechanical engineers can opt for, after their engineering. These courses range from a duration of three months to two years. Below is a short list of such courses.

CAD Course

This course helps the mechanical engineers to learn the CAD software and hardware. They also learn the traditional drafting skills including freehand sketching.

Mechanical CAD Course

This course teaches candidates to use CAD techniques for mechanical drafting. Here the mechanical students learn to create detailed engineering drawings using the CAD software.

Course in Machine Design

The mechanical engineers here get a chance to study the functions of the individual machine components using the CAD software. The courseware lays special emphasis on the choice of materials, precision, mathematical calculations, and cost estimates.

Manufacturing Materials and Process Course  

The course covers the properties of the different manufacturing materials. It also covers the different modeling and forming processes of manufacturing.

Course in Computer Graphics  

Here the student learns to create the 3D dimensional models of the mechanisms. The candidates also learn the different animation software applications.

Trends in Mechanical Engineering Careers

Mechanical engineering is the stream that applies the principles of physics, and materials science for the analysis, manufacturing, maintenance, and design of mechanical structures. It is the branch of engineering that involves the design, production, and operation of machinery.

Essentially every organisation that designs and produces a product hires a mechanical engineer. Mechanical engineering is at the forefront of emerging new technology for ecological remediation, farming and housing, transportation, food production, security, safety, healthcare and other resources,”.  Mechanical engineers can also be seen in research labs, government, the military, and in other occupations such as teaching, law or medicine.

Engineers have to drive beyond the boundaries of their subject knowledge and must know the use of innovative technology to meet career requirements. As, maximum mechanical engineering professions demand design knowledge. When a requirement comes for a new or enhanced invention, companies demand a mechanical engineers to do the job. Experts in AutoCAD with mechanical engineering degree can work in a variety of entry-level to senior-level positions in the industry.

Employment for mechanical engineers is manufacturing units was always a win win situation. As such Industrial jobs cover nearly the whole ball of wax from developing a product to opt for the appropriate materials to pick out the correct technology to assemble the product. Furthermost mechanical engineers in this trade work for aerospace companies, equipment manufacturers, petroleum companies, material processing plants, transportation companies, and utilities. They also work with consulting practices, small firms, universities, and government & administration research labs.

Field specific assignments might include research and development, design of tools or systems, supervision of construction, plant engineering, government, sales engineering, the testing and evaluation of machines and entire plants.

From toys manufacturing to prosthetic legs, the variety of projects can be a part of are as enormous as your imagination. Diversity is the key of Mechanical Engineers. One can wind up working for an outdoor construction site or in a laboratory. Point to be noted is, approximately every single mechanical device was formed by a mechanical engineer so the opportunities for employment are virtually never-ending. In fact latterly “Engineers will be able to act as self-driven operators interrelating with colleagues around the world,”

Facts from Forbs


Job evolution from 2010 to 2014 has been twofold in four occupations: petroleum engineers (30%), mining and geological engineers (12%), biomedical engineers (10%), and industrial engineers (10%). But every engineering occupation has added jobs, the most coming among mechanical engineers (21,500 new jobs since 2010). As a whole, engineering jobs have grown 7%.

The output of engineering graduates was at a standstill in the early 2000s. But since ’07, completions nationwide have shot up 33%, from 108,000 to 144,000.
