Reverse engineering of prototypes and finished pieces
Fratelli Rotondi carries out the engineering of prototypes, details or finished objects on behalf of third parties, including the creation of the related CAD model.
Reverse engineering: a fundamental operation in many evolving production processes
In many cases the production process of an object begins with the manual creation of a piece created by the technician or a designer with materials such as wood, clay or special plastics. The prototype is modeled in such a way as to give it specific functional and aesthetic characteristics; however, it is often changed during the production cycle.
Especially in the case of free-geometry surfaces, changes to the original parts of the design are very difficult to make and often cannot even be analyzed or described in relation to the original design. This requires implementing a procedure aimed at creating the CAD model of the physical object to be manufactured, automatically and in a short time.
In this regard, Fratelli Rotondi offers an engineering service for any three-dimensional object, or its components; starting from a prototype, or from an object that you want to reconstruct, or from specific parts of which you want to carry out a specific analysis, the relative CAD model is obtained through the process of reverse engineering. With this model, modifying existing parts, developing new parts, carrying out a dimensional analysis and starting the production process (CAM process) becomes not only possible, but easy.
The reverse engineering service offered by Fratelli Rotondi includes:
- surface digitization
- editing and filtering of measurement data
- segmentation and creation of mathematical models
- creation of CAD models
