Abstract
Reverse engineering (RE) and additive manufacturing (AM) are widely used in Industrial 4.0. RE transforms physical objects into the digital world; AM, on the other hand, directly prints physical replicas of the RE models. However, practitioners need to pay extra attention to reviewing AM processes because of their unique layer-by-layer fabrication process. This paper extends RE's functionality as a metrological tool to study AM-printed parts and, further, the effect of process settings on AM precision. Instead of merely generating computer-aided design model inputs, the proposed methodology provides a solution to multiple AM-related studies. RE's capabilities and applications and the corresponding analytical tools are discussed.
