BAHIR DAR UNIVERSITYBAHIR DAR INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY (BiT)FACULTY OF MECHANICAL AND INDUSTRIAL ENGINEERING Rapid Prototyping & Reverse Engineering [MEng6123] Tools for Reverse Engineering (Hardware & Software) Tools for Reverse Engineering (Hardware & Software) Reverse Engineering hardware used for data accusation. The output of RE data accusation are 2-D cross-sectional image & point clouds that define the geometry of an object. RE Software transforms RE data produced by RE hardware into a 3D geometric models. The RE data processing chain can be one of two types Polygon Curves Polygon models are commonly used rapid prototyping, laser milling, 3D Graphics, Simulation and animations.
