DEVELOPMENT PROCEDURES FOR THE SYSTEMATIC MEASUREMENT OF PARTS AND COMPONENTS, FROM AN ANALYTICAL PROGRAMS OF REVERSE ENGINEERING PERSPECTIVE

Abstract

Reverse engineering can be used to enhance the teaching of the Metrology of parts and components because it requires on the one hand, the contextualization of objects reference and, on the other hand, requires the systematic implementation of programs and procedures in geometrical and dimensional measurement processes. In this article, 4 basic procedures are shown. All related to an analytical research program from Reverse Engineering, which can be used by students to perform proper measurement of parts. These procedures are: 1) Preliminary analysis, generation and parameterization of primitives, 2) Selection of the measuring device and verification of its calibration process, 3) Measurement operation and 4) Data analysis and information representation. The systematic implementation of the program and its procedures ensures a correct measurement process and encourages and guides students to the systematic study of dimensional metrology and Reverse Engineering of parts and components.
