The aim of this course is to enable students to understand and use contact and non-contact measurement systems employed in reverse engineering and quality control applications, acquire measurement data using Coordinate Measuring Machines (CMM), laser scanners, and optical scanning systems, process point cloud data, perform geometric analyses, and generate surface and solid models from the acquired data. Furthermore, the course aims to develop students’ ability to compare measured data with CAD models, perform dimensional verification and tolerance analyses, and carry out quality control applications.

This course covers the fundamental principles of reverse engineering; contact and non-contact measurement technologies; Coordinate Measuring Machines (CMM); laser and optical scanning systems; data acquisition methods; point cloud generation and processing techniques; data cleaning, alignment, and merging operations; geometric measurement and analysis applications; CAD model comparison and deviation analysis; mesh modeling; surface and solid model reconstruction methods; dimensional and geometrical quality control applications; tolerance evaluation techniques; quality reporting methods; and industrial applications of reverse engineering.
