Reverse Engineering Step by Step

Successful Benchmarking and Targeted Optimization Using Effective Product Analysis

Discover tools and methods for capturing and analyzing complex products and product systems. You will be able to evaluate existing products, their subcomponents and solutions, identify effective and constructive optimization measures and successfully implement the same.

Course Content

▶ Practical, product- and industry-neutral analysis of products, their working principles and
    implemented functions
▶ Digitization techniques and CAD modelling of existing component geometries
▶ Reverse Engineering for every abstraction level: Universally applicable methods,
    demonstrated with example products
▶ Supplementation of classical methods through the use of various digitization techniques

Group of Participants
You are a designer, product manager or product developer in the fields of mechanical engineering, mechatronics or product development.

Motivation
The combination of modern digitization tools and classical analysis methods offers optimal conditions for continuously optimizing the existing product portfolio, for understanding, abstracting and quantifying existing solutions.

Methodology
This one-day seminar will introduce tools for fully capturing existing systems, from functional analysis to 3D scanning of complex component geometries. Sample products for practical application are provided, and after consultation, participants' products brought together can be examined together.
