PROTOTYPING AND REVERSE ENGINEERING STRATEGY USING THE EXAMPLE OF ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING ENGINEERING PROBLEMS

Abstract

The aspects that directly or indirectly affect the results of reverse engineering in the practice of prototyping mechanical
engineering products are examined in the work. Based on the analysis of typical reverse engineering schemes and algorithms
using additive manufacturing technologies and optimization of 3D scanning processes, recommendations have been developed
regarding the preparation, execution, and post-processing of digital scans of engineering objects to ensure the quality, accuracy,
and speed of their reconstruction using optical 3D scanners with structured light. The research was carried out thanks to the
successful implementation of the International Project "Boosting the role of HEIs in the industrial transformation towards the
Industry 4.0 paradigm in Georgia and Ukraine" (https://hein4.net).
