Abstract New and emerging technologies are bringing automation to the product development process. Mechanical engineers are rethinking their historical focus on computer-aided design modeling and exploring tools that offer a wide range of applications. These applications serve problem solving, decision support, supply chain integration and project performance optimization. Harper examines how these new tools are causing users to revisit their traditional toolset for reverse engineering and the impact this shift is having on the reverse engineering and manufacturing process.
