Abstract :
Combining Reverse Engineering technology with three-dimension molding software shortens the research cycle of new products. Using mechanical Coordinate Measurement Machine (CMM) gets phone shell point clouds, and those point clouds are treated by IMAGEWARE software, then gets the CAD model of phone shell. After that process, the phone shell injection mold is made by the using of the Pro/E software. Rapid injection mold design from the phone shell is achieved. Significantly, using reverse engineering technology shortens the research cycle of the new products and improves the competitive power of the corporation in the market during the process of injection part design and development.
