MANUFACTURING OF VARYING CONTOUR JOB WITH THE APPLICATION OF REVERSE ENGINEERING TECHNOLOGY

Traditional design have limitations due to diversified requirements in the manufacturing industries like Automobile, Aerospace etc. Reverse Engineering (RE) has paramount importance in the manufacturing of complex profile or varying contour components. A manufacturing setup with RE technologies has provision to meet such challenges. This paper gives methodology to manufacture a PC Mouse having varying contour. 3D Model of the Mouse will be generated using RE method. Machining data in the form of G-code, M-code can be obtained using machine tool path generation program. Finally the dimensional comparison has been given to show accuracy of the manufactured Mouse with that of physical one through RE. Such manufacturing methods has shown tremendous results for jobs such as turbine blades, propellers, mold and dies, etc. etc. Such manufacturing techniques provide firstly the quick solution and secondly cost effective and more economical to meet production targets for complex and varying profile engineering equipments. Thus it has proved and identified as the key indicator or technology that will play a dominant role globally to meet whatever the customer demand in any type of manufacturing industry.
