The aim of the project was to study and understand Rapid Product Development using Reverse Engineering and Additive Manufacturing technologies.
The point cloud data collected by scanning an aerospace component through reverse engineering laser scanning process and converted in to 3D CAD data. 3D CAD model was then analysed using FEA software, ANSYS Workbench 14.0V. Later prototypes were built using different materials like translucent and opaque resins of SLA and nylon powder of SLS additive manufacturing technologies.
