Reverse engineering method is to create a 3D CAD model of an existing part. It involves measuring and creating a 3D model. Measuring using 3D scanning technologies like CMMs, laser scanners, structured light digitizers, or Industrial CT Scanning (computed tomography). The measured data alone, usually represented as a point cloud, lacks topological information and is therefore often processed and modeled into a more usable format.
Reverse engineering generate existing physical geometry into digital, to smartly compare products that of competitors. It is used to analyse, for instance, how a product works, what it does, and what components it consists of, estimate costs, and identify potential patent infringement, etc.
