Study of reverse engineering and its application

The meanings and basic working flow of reverse engineering were introduced,and the process and principle of acquisition of the 3D point data were expounded.The treatment of the exhaust manifold point cloud data with the reverse engineering software Geomagic was discussed,and the process of surface foundation was also stated Finally,reverse design and surface reconstruction of exhaust pipe were realized,according to user require.Practice shows that,making use of the reverse engineering technique,the design efficiency of the product can be greatly improved.
