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.

Building Information Modelling (BIM) is one of the most promising developments in the Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) industries. BIM simulates the construction modelling and project in a virtual environment. An accurate virtual model of a building is digitally constructed with BIM technology. When completed, the computer-generated construction model contains precise geometry and relevant data needed to support the construction, fabrication and procurement activities required to complete the building structure.

BIM offers the potential to decrease project cost, increase productivity and quality, and reduce project delivery time that the Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) industries are looking for. BIM represents the development and use of computer-generated n-dimensional (n-D) models to simulate the planning, design, construction and operation of a facility and helps architects, engineers and constructors to visualise what is to be built in a simulated environment and to identify potential design, construction or operational issues. It is important to note that a building information model characterises the geometry, spatial relationships, geographic information, quantities and properties of building elements, cost estimates, material inventories and project schedule.

The principal difference between BIM and conventional 3D CAD is that the latter describes a building by independent 3D views such as plans, sections and elevations, in contrast to the intelligent contextual semantic of BIM models, where objects are defined in terms of building elements and systems such as spaces, walls, beams and columns. Building Information Modelling (BIM) has emerged as an innovative way for construction modelling and to manage projects.

Revit technology is one of the BIM software options that helps architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) teams create high-quality buildings and infrastructure. If you are interested in learning more about Revit architecture, you can enroll in a revit architecture course to enhance your skills. Revit technology helps to model shapes, structures, and systems in 3D with parametric accuracy, precision, and ease. It completely assists with streamline documentation work, with instant revisions to plans, elevations, schedules, and sections as projects change Revit technology is used to coordinate all data inputs (including CAD) and produce federated project deliverables. Both programs are often used within the same firm, with BIM and CAD specialists working on different elements of a project. If you want to become proficient in Revit architecture, you can consider taking a revit architecture training to gain the necessary skills.

Many researchers and practitioners have indicated that the BIM technology is set to become indispensable to building design and construction. As the use of BIM accelerates, collaboration within project teams should increase, leading to improved profitability, reduced costs, better time management and improved customer/client relationships. The teams implementing BIM should be very careful about the legal pitfalls such as data ownership associated with propriety issues and risk-sharing.
