This short training course for businesses aims to cover the entire reverse engineering process for an existing part or tool, from 3D scanning to the rapid manufacturing and inspection of a prototype . Lasting one to three days, this training course is available on an à la carte basis or as a tailor-made package.
Training objectives
- Understanding the reverse engineering process
- Perform a non-contact 3D scan
- Processing a cloud of digitized points
- Use 3D reconstruction CAD tools
- Create a prototype using additive manufacturing
- Implement a dimensional inspection software solution
Applications
- Reverse engineering of parts or tools
- Re-manufacturing of a small series of parts
- Numerical simulation for competition analysis
- Integration with additive manufacturing
- Training and augmented reality
Sectors: mechanical engineering, healthcare, art and heritage, etc.
Target audience
The training can be aimed at CAD technicians or engineers, maintenance, manufacturing, quality, method, design, etc.
Program
The training is available in different formats:
- A one-day introductory course,
- A formula implemented and operated over two days,
- A comprehensive three-day program,
- A tailor-made formula to be defined.
Day 1 - Introduction - Beginner
- The different 3D scanning techniques: choice of measuring equipment, advantages, limitations, etc.
- Demonstration of various non-contact scanning technologies: GOM Atos Core and ScanTech (tool configuration: management, qualification, maintenance of measuring equipment, performance comparison), Alicona system.
- Reverse engineering methodology applied to a specific case:
- Point cloud processing (GOM Inspect): cleaning the cloud, choosing a working reference point, reconstructing canonical shapes, taking into account the history of the scanned part, etc.
- Reconstruction tools in Catia or 3DExperience.
- Rapid manufacturing techniques.
Days 2 and 3 - Implementation and operation - intermediate to advanced
Implementation in an industrial case: 3D scanning and reverse engineering (1 day)
- Based on an identified industrial case, selection and implementation of a non-contact 3D scanner.
- Point cloud processing
- Reverse engineering of the selected part on Catia V5 or 3Dexperience (CAD)
- Preparing for 3D printing of the prototype
Exploitation of results (1 day)
- 3D scanning of the printed prototype
- Dimensional inspection of the prototype using GOM Inspect and comparison with the original part.
Teaching resources
The training takes place in person.
The theoretical contributions are supplemented by concrete use cases from the industrial sector.
Knowledge is assessed through a questionnaire, and a training certificate is issued upon completion.
Speakers
The training is provided by Nicolas Bonnet and Olivier Bomont, certified teachers.
