Abstract

Reverse Engineering is a method that transverse from the ordinary of producing an existing product. Normally, the design process is start from drafting or sketching to produce the product. In contrary, the design process in Reverse Engineering is start by getting the data from the existing object. There are two systems that involve in Reverse Engineering (RE) method which are Computer Aided Design (CAD) and Rapid Prototyping (RP). The purpose of this project is to understand the application of Reverse Engineering, Computer Aided Design and Rapid Prototyping in product development using Reverse Engineering approached. It is the bottom-up approached that used in this project. The existing object that used in this project is motorcycle tail lamp. The existing object is scanned using 3D scanning machine which is non-contact method. The scanned data that gained from scanning process is CAD data. The CAD data is then converted to STL file format. Then the STL file is transferred to Rapid Prototyping machine to build the prototype. The completed prototype is then continuing to next process which is post processing. A study was carried out to compare the existing motorcycle tail lamp with prototype and to compare the RE CAD data with existing motorcycle tail lamp.
