Abstract
RE is a new technology applied to modern product design. It can be used to design complex curve and surface and has been widely applied in the design of auto. With other consumer products to industrial appearance, the new requirements increase, enterprises the introduction of new products and the speed of Flexible manufacturing has become increasingly fierce competition often a key factor. Reverse engineering technology in product development performance by the rapidity of it in the manufacturing sector has been rapidly spread and popularize. This article expatiates on the method of product design with RE, the rationale and process of curve and surface reverse design. The critical problem in reverse engineering, coordinate measuring and model reconstruction, are addressed in this paper and gives several application examples on the base of the author engaging in the project graduation about the 3D design of MFS.
