Objective Of Dissertation
The traditional measurement techniques and designing in
CAD of complex shape may be challenging or impossible as
well as error-prone and sometimes impossible.
RE makes it possible with different methods of scanning
and modeling in short it bridges the gap between poorly or
un-documented tooling and fully modifiable 3D CAD models
useful

for

modern

manufacturing

methods

and

also

compresses product development times.

Cont..

Any human body part is in complex shape, so with the

use of reverse engineering we make easier to modelling
of that component in less time.
