Subject aims expressed by acquired skills and competences

Students will acquire knowledge with a process that is generally referred to as opposed to conventional engineering. They will learn to create backward digital models from physical parts to control the product or further process it. Reverse engineering using 3D digitization is the most efficient way to get a CAD model from a physical complex object. Digital data can be used to eliminate problems in the original part, to optimize design, analysis, inspection or other software applications.

Summary

In mechanical engineering, RE is associated with three-dimensional digitization technologies and is referred to as a process to derive from a measured physical object a digital model usable in conventional CAD systems. It is therefore a conversion of scanned polygonal data to volume or surface data. However, RE methods are not only used to obtain a digital copy of an existing work, but are now increasingly being used to improve product development and production.

Way of continuous check of knowledge in the course of semester

During the semester, the student processes assigned tasks on PC stations and is evaluated within the credit. The course is completed by an exam consisting of theoretical and practical parts. The theoretical part is realized orally. The student randomly chooses from questions published in advance. The practical part of the exam consists in the defense of the semestral project, which the student created independently outside the direct teaching.
