Abstract

It goes into the crucial field of reverse engineering within the automobile industry, concentrating primarily on the remanufacturing of spare components, with a particular emphasis on the headlight jigs. The study, driven by New Product Development (NPD), aims to find the best composite material to replace standard hardened materials like mild steel and die steel. The impetus for material replacement stems from the negative consequences of temperature-induced expansion in steel constructions, which cause vibrations and structural deterioration, undermining the fundamental purpose of jigs in accurately guiding cutting tools. The study investigates existing jigs to discover their limits using cutting-edge reverse engineering approaches such as scanning technologies and computer-aided design (CAD). The project, supported by NPD initiatives, aims to identify a composite material capable of withstanding high temperatures, avoiding wear, and retaining structural integrity through material analysis. Thermal conductivity, mechanical strength, and general durability are important concerns, as are the environmental and economic ramifications. By addressing these issues through NPD, the thesis advances automotive manufacturing methodologies and provides practical solutions for improving the remanufacturing process of headlamp jigs, aligning with industry demands for adaptability and innovation in the face of technological and material constraints.
