Precision Engineering Company Offers Reverse Engineering
Reverse engineering is the process of studying or analyzing the principles of a device, object or system to further document its structure, function and operation. In manufacturing, the process of reverse engineering involves examining a part down to the smallest detail, in order to make a solid model and/or 2-D drawing to aid in re-manufacturing. Lone Star LWD Precision Engineering establishes the parameters and features of a part through the use of a CMM (coordinate measuring machine) and wide array of manual inspection equipment. Once this is done, the information is transferred to a CAD engineer who recreates the recorded geometry into an electronic file format via Solid Works 2009. Then these measurements take a form of an electronic solid model pantomiming all aspects of the original part. And this model can be easily converted to a 2-D drawing, and then fully dimensioned and tolerance for use on the manufacturing floor.
Lone Star LWD Precision Engineering Company offers reverse engineering for these common situations:
- A particular part is needed by our customer; yet documentation was never written or has been lost.
- An old or disused machine can be re-engineered in an electronic format prior to a re-build, upgrade or repair
Lone Star LWD Precision Engineering Services not only able to document an existing part for manufacture, but with planning and caution, we can evaluate and re-design complex machines and assemblies for fit, functionality, proposed improvements and cost reduction.
