Abstract
The reverse engineering (RE) technique provides a clone of product through digitization whose original drawings, blueprints, or other technical details are unavailable due to the obsolescence of that product technology. The output of RE is either point cloud data or two-dimensional cross-sectional images and is utilized to reconstruct a computer-aided design (CAD) model. On the other hand, additive manufacturing (AM) techniques are gaining popularity due to their capability of producing a physical part with complex features by depositing material incrementally. The primary requirement of AM is a CAD model, as obtained from RE techniques, which is utilized to develop a product after performing the necessary operations in the interface of AM. It is not necessary to produce a CAD model every time for product development. RE and AM can be integrated by directly making the data points compatible to the AM interface after processing data by algorithms.
