While it cannot untangle every supply chain issue overnight, reverse engineering can be an invaluable tool for solving procurement problems through the digitization of discontinued and hard-to-source parts.
Combined with 3D printing, it is possible to materialize a digital inventory of spare parts, which can minimize unexpected equipment downtime caused by component failure. Taken a step further, it can also support production reshoring efforts through tooling and machinery refurbishment.
This webinar covers:
- How to approach reverse engineering problems with 3D printing in mind
- Overview and hands-on demo of reverse engineering with a 3D scanner
- Redesign considerations for 3D printing
0:00:00 - Introduction
0:08:21 - STL Overview
0:14:26 - Example Part
0:29:26 - Scanning Specifications
0:49:30 - Q&A
1:06:06 - Scanning Demo
