Objective: To reverse engineer U-joint, brake drum and brake rotors developed for automotive applications and obtain comprehensive design information for manufacturing purposes
the design parameters affecting the performance and longevity of the product, reverse engineering also serves as a method to study competitor products and keep pace with the market requirements. One of the prominent aftermarket auto parts manufacturers
Challenges:
from USA needed reverse engineering solution for a broad

solution for three major automotive parts using a team of qualified CAD professional and design engineers.
Solution Based on the receipt of parts from the client, a digital design process was initiated. Dimensions were calculated manually as well as using 3D scanning and CMM methods. For reverse engineering universal joint, brake drum and disc brake rotor, entire assembly was disassembled and
Solution:
individual component dimensions were recorded with
