With the availability of affordable 3D scanners the process of reverse engineering has become more readily adaptable to a large number of manufacturing applications from medical devices to reconstruction of obsolete parts. The process constitutes of scanning the object, cleaning and merging the scans, patching holes to create 3D computer model, subsequently resizing or redesigning the part in a CAD environment before constructing the prototype. In order to introduce students to this emerging technology, the procedural steps are currently being worked out to introduce one or more undergraduate projects at a sophomore level engineering course with a new system consisting of 3D scanner, software, CAD tools and 3D printer.
