Redesign of Car Body by Reverse Engineering Technique using Steinbichler 3D Scanner and Projet 3D Printer

Abstract

Product designing requires concept development tool like TRIZ to obtain innovative solutions. In this paper, we have applied available concept development and design tool to develop a relationship between the problem definitions, identified as per customer needs, and the design of the products physical parameters complying with the required specifications. Product development techniques like Reverse Engineering, Surface Modeling, and Rapid Prototyping technologies are employed to improve the existing design of a specific problem. These technologies are used for customization of product and are helpful for research and development purpose. In this paper, the outer body of an existing car is redesigned, and we have further created a prototype with improved aerodynamics and futuristic aesthetics. In this Additive Manufacturing (AM) process, Steinbichler 3D Scanner, Projet 3D printer and associated Scanning and printing software are used, by which redesign and associated development process of a car become easy in lesser time and cost.
