Forward engineering and reverse
engineering are two types of engineering on a higher level. Forward engineering
is general used method to make any product. It may start with paper drawings
and other technical and physical details to develop any product for market.
Reverse engineering is method gathering
information from anything made by man or nature for duplicating product.
Reverse engineering is also to disassemble the machines to know how they work.
It is use to understand the operation of any machine from end to start.RE is
very common in automotive, mechanical, electrical and other engineeringespecially in product research and development. On first stage designers
extract the product information from clay, wood, plaster model which was the
first idea to design the product. They capture this data in to CAD which is
manufacturing requirement of product. Every manufacturer buys some new product of
their competitor to dissemble and collect information from reviews for their
engineers for design and manufacturing. They also copy some standard processes
for manufacturing and design for their product. It’s also to copy some features
of products.
It’s a very important process in high
investment product development. There are some quick part manufacturing processes
for research purpose like RPT (rapid prototyping) which need not any die and
casting steps. Very basic CAD data is required for it which is needed to feed
in machine. RE reduce the time in product development. Every product manufacturer
always searches the way to short the development time.
It also understands everything present to
past. Like when we start to read the history of anything we starts from today
to its past. It’s human nature. It starts from childhood when we want to know
how the car toy runs and we starts to dissemble the toy to know its working.
All engineering study is RE process of
learning, in which everything is learned by dissembling and assembling the
subject. To understand the every subject we have to perform these practical in
lab
Reverse engineering is very important
tool in product development. Technically RE is used to for making the similar product
with differences. Almost every manufacturer use RE for developing their
products.
