Reverse engineering is a method of creating a 3D virtual model from an existing physical part for use in 3D computer-aided design (CAD), computer-aided manufacturing (CAM), computer-aided engineering (CAE), or other software. The process involves measuring an object and then reconstructing it as a 3D model.

Reverse engineering is useful to analyze product functionality, analyze subcomponents, estimate costs, and identify potential patent infringement. It may also be used to supply documentation that was either lost or never written, typically for parts designed before CAD software became widespread. 

To ensures that your mold making endeavors are successful, efficient, and capable of producing high-quality molds that meet specific manufacturing requirements.
