Abstract: In this paper, approach for Reverse Engineering (RE) technique using Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM) and a design software CREO is presented. A part is physically examined with the help of Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM) & Point cloud data of a part is generated through scanning. Point cloud data is then exported to CAD software CREO to generate CAD model of a part. Thus, this report describes the processes of Reverse Engineering, from object digitization to CAD model reconstruction and error analysis. A case study of Reverse Engineering using CMM and CAD tool is presented considering a part i.e. Rotor Driven Shaft of Transmission assembly of JADHAO Rotavator is presented and finally important conclusions are drawn.
