Reverse Engineering of Automotive Componenets
Reverse engineering is increasingly becoming a useful tool
for manufacturers to re-consider their product design in an
efficient and cost-effective manner. Providing insights about
the design parameters affecting the performance and
longevity of the product, reverse engineering also serves as
a method to study competitor products and keep pace with
the market requirements.
One of the prominent aftermarket auto parts manufacturers
from USA needed reverse engineering solution for a broad
inventory of their products. Hi-Tech offered a qualitative
solution for three major automotive parts using a team of
qualified CAD professional and design engineers.
Based on the receipt of parts from the client, a digital design
process was initiated. Dimensions were calculated manually
as well as using 3D scanning and CMM methods. For
reverse engineering universal joint, brake drum and disc
brake rotor, entire assembly was disassembled and
individual component dimensions were recorded with
detailed information on material, fits and tolerances.
The information obtained was utilized to develop CAD
drawings for inspection purposes and identification of
design improvements in critical regions leading to early
failures. Based on the inputs received from the client, the
designs of the parts were altered and final assembly
drawings were developed. Additionally, detailed
manufacturing drawings were also developed to meet the
shop floor requirements.
Solution
To reverse engineer U-joint, brake drum and brake
rotors developed for automotive applications and
obtain comprehensive design information for
manufacturing purposes
Automotive Parts Manufacturer, USA
Challenges:
=

Solution:
The dimensions of universal joint, brake drum and
brake rotor were calculated using 3D scanning,
CMM technique as well as manual measurement
methods. For reverse engineering requirements, the
parts were disassembled and individual component
dimensions were measured. Based on the details
captured, a CAD model was developed to digitally
document the design information. Further design
changes were performed as per client’s
requirements and final assembly with detailed
manufacturing drawings was prepared.
