During the past decade reverse engineering has become a common
and acceptable practice utilized by many original equipment
manufacturers and suppliers. This course focuses on the application
of modern technologies used to decode the design details and
manufacturing processes of an existing part in the absence of the
original design data. It emphasizes the real-life practice of reverse
engineering in the aerospace industry from both scientific and legal
points of view. Attendees will learn the applicability and limitations of
reverse engineering through case studies and hands-on exercises.

Various measurement instruments, ranging from traditional
micrometers to computer-aided laser probes, will be compared
for their merits and shortcomings. The statistics of dimensional
measurements and the acceptable tolerance of variations, with
emphasis on industrial standards in real-life practice will be discussed.
Material identification, manufacturing process verification and the
system compatibility of the subject part to be reverse engineered will
be covered in substantial detail. In addition, the materials specifications
will be exemplified as useful supporting documents for substantiation
data.

Note: Participants should bring a calculator for in-class exercises.

Learning Objectives
By attending this seminar, you will be able to:
Define the critical elements of reverse engineering
List the measurements and analyses required to duplicate/reproduce
an OEM part by reverse engineering
Recognize if an OEM part can be duplicated/reproduced by reverse
engineering
Judge if a “duplicated” part will meet the design functionality of the
OEM part

Evaluate the feasibility of a reverse engineering proposal/project
Describe and implement a process to duplicate/reproduce a part by
reverse engineering
