Reverse Engineering: Magic, Mystique, and Myth. Author: Todd Grimm. Desktop Engineering, July, 2005. Relating RP to reverse engineering, especially to the use of common file structures such as STL.
Reverse engineering gets a role in detecting and preserving. Author: Jean Thilmany. Mechanical Engineering, June, 2005. Exploring the full range of reverse engineering applications, from scanning structures to small parts. Considerable discussion about using RE to help determine the cause of component failure or in other forensic applications such as accident and crime reconstruction.
Laser Scanning Helps Shrink Digital Projector. Author: Judy Dancer. Photonics Spectra, March 2005. Case study of how InFocus Corp. used laser scanning to determine whether the cause of poorly fitting parts in a prototype projector were caused by using low-tolerance stereolithography parts or the design itself.
3D scanning for quality. Author: anon. Tooling and Production, Nov. 2004. Case study of using Perceptron Inc.'s ScanWorks touch probe in automotive applications.
Digitize and Scan - Designs Get New Life. Author: Susan Parran. Desktop Engineering, August 2004. Survey article and buying guide for digitzers and 3D scanners.
RE Firm Lets Freedom Ring by Recreating the Liberty Bell. Author: Sherry L. Baranek. Time Compression Technologies, May, 2004. A case study of how service bureau Direct Dimensions used multiple scanning technologies to digitize this large historical artifact for reproduction by a French foundry.
Designing the Great American Supercar. Author: Sherry L. Baranek. Time Compression Technologies, Sept., 2002. With the assistance of a measuring system, photogrammetry and optical scanning, Ford was able to greatly reduce its design to manufacturing cycle for the new GT40 concept car.
Companies Use RE to Help Restore Historic Sites. Author: John Connolly. Time Compression Technologies, Sept., 2002. Reverse engineering allows companies to create accurate, 3-D computer models using laser scanners to record the tiniest of details, saving old statues and monuments from the ravages of age and disaster. The Lincoln Memorial the Parthenon are examples.
Rapid Generation of Computer Models From Large Objects. Authors: P.J.S. Bartolo and N.M. Alves. Time Compression Technologies, Sept., 2002. The limitations of instrumentation can be overcome through the replication of the human vision process in a computer program that analyzes photos of the objects.
Accurate Models Advance Artificial Heart. Author: Anna Turnage. Time Compression Technologies, Sept., 2002. One of the critical issues with an artificial heart is how the blood flows through the device. Cleveland Clinic researchers determined that the best way to ensure a proper flow pattern was to reverse engineer the complex geometries of the blood pump housings
Engineers Must Forward Engineer to Reverse Engineer. Author: Nick Reffold. Time Compression Technologies, May, 2002. A vintage de Havilland Vampire jet fighter was returned to flight capability for display at an air show. In some cases, components were designed to replace originals that had the same apearance, but were made of different materials.
Design, prototype via reverse engineering Author: Nitin Shankar. From: Tooling & Production, May, 1999. Here's how Brown & Sharpe has integrated this once denigrated practice to benefit its design process.
