Forging new generations of engineers

REVERSE ENGINEERING

REVERSE ENGINEERING IS A PROCESS OF REDESIGNING AN EXISTING PRODUCT TO IMPROVE AND BROADEN ITS FUNCTION, ADD QUALITY AND TO INCREASE ITS USEFUL LIFE. ALSO AN IMPORTANT ADDITIONAL GOAL IS TO REDUCE MANUFACTURING COSTS OF THE NEW PRODUCT MAKING IT COMPETIVE IN THE MARKET PLACE.

REVERSE ENGINEERING STEPS

• STUDY HOW THE PRODUCT WORKS AND LOOK FOR WAYS TO IMPROVE OR EXPAND ITS FUNCTIONS.

• DISASSEMBLE AND INSPECT THE PARTS OF THE PRODUCT STUDYING WAYS TO IMPROVE AND SIMPLIFY THESE PARTS AND ITS OVERALL DESIGN.

• STUDY HOW THE QUALITY AND LIFE OF THE PRODUCT MIGHT BE IMPROVED.

• STUDY METHODS OF HOW THE COSTS OF MANUFACTURING THE PRODUCT MIGHT BE REDUCED APPLING NEW AVAILABLE TECHNOLOGIES AND MATERIALS.

• WILL PRODUCING THIS PRODUCT BE COMPECTIVE AND PROFITABLE IF IT IS MARKETED.`

PROJECT REQUIREMENTS

• SELECT A MACHINE WITH A MINIMUM OF 8 PARTS TO BE DISSAMBLED IN A REVERSE ENGINEERING PROJECT STUDY.

• EACH PART HAS TO BE CLEANED, IDENTIFIED, NUMBERED AND PLACED ON A DISPLAY BOARD SHOWING THE ASSEMBLY ORDER

• A TYPED CHART SHOWING EACH PARTS NUMBER AND NAME IS TO BE ATTACHED TO THE DISPLAY BOARD TO IDENTIFY ALL PARTS.

• A TYPED REPORT EXPLAING WHAT EACH PART DOES IN HELPING THE MACHINE TO WORK AND AN EXPLANATION OF HOW THE MACHINE FUNCTIONS WILL HANG FROM THE DISPLAY BOARD BY A HOOK.

• AN EXPLANATION OF A SELECTED PART THAT YOU WOULD REDESIGN TO IMPROVE THE FUNCTION OF THE MACHINE OR TO MAKE IT WORK BETTER IS INCLUDED IN THE REPORT.

• A DETAILED SET OF DRAWINGS WITH A CAD SOLID MODEL OF THE REENGINEERED PART, A LIST OF STEPS AND PROCEDURES THAT WILL BE REQUIRED TO MAKE THE NEW PART AND A CAD SOLID ANIMATED ASSEMBLY MODEL OF THE MACHINE.

• A PRESENTATION OF YOUR FINDINGS SHOWING YOUR DISPLAY DISASSEMBLY, IDENTIFICATION AND EXPLANATION OF PARTS, THE REDESIGNED PART DRAWINGS WITH A MODEL AND A PRESENTATION OF HOW THE NEW REDESIGNED PART IMPROVES THE MACHINE.
