Reverse engineering is an effective method applied to development of many kinds of products. This research dealt with reverse engineering for a product with free-form surfaces. Firstly, general procedure of reverse engineering was surveyed. Secondly, as an example, computer aided design and manufacturing of a lure and its die casting mould were carried out based on reverse engineering, in which the three-dimensional data was gotten from photos of the lure. Finally, some results and considerations were summarized.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
