Reverse engineering is the duplication of an item based on an examination of its components and construction. The primary purpose behind reverse engineering is discovering how an object or system works, particularly when that object’s instructions or manuals are no longer available or were never originally created. This discovery is used in turn to replicate the object down to its internal functioning. Reverse Engineering in Different Industries While reverse engineering can be used solely for the purpose of design duplication, it is also used for a variety of other engineering functions across different industries. In product design and manufacturing, reverse engineering can be used for [...]

Exact Metrology: A Division of In-Place Machining Company, a comprehensive 3D metrology service provider and hardware sales company, is excited to announce their upcoming Technology Fair in Moline, Illinois and Brookfield, Wisconsin.

Exact Metrology: A Division of In-Place Machining Company and a comprehensive 3D metrology service provider and hardware sales company, recently used CT technology for an interesting project. The goal was to obtain an inside look at an AA battery. AA battery color map inspection The ZEISS METROTOM 6 scout, formally known as a GOM CT, was used. Considered the powerhouse of resolution for CT and inspection and metrology, the METROTOM 6 scout digitizes complex parts including the internal geometries at the finest level of detail. Users obtain a complete 3D image for GD&T analysis or nominal-actual comparisons. The metrology CT excels in digitizing [...]
