The Modeling Design of Plastic Ashtray Technology and Rapid Prototyping Technology Based on Reverse Engineering

Abstract:

Reverse engineering is a process of using 3D geometric modeling method to reconstruct actual objects CAD model based on these points, which is used physical digital measuring equipment to measure the three-dimensional coordinates of points on the surface of the object accurately and rapidly. Based on reverse engineering technology as the theoretical basis, the paper used three-coordinate measuring machine to measure ashtray surface data. After data was be handled, which was used to reconstruct 3D entity in Pro/E software. Last, the 3D entity of ashtray was printed out through rapid prototyping machine, which can be achieved by physical sample to rapid manufacturing of products, shortening production cycle, reducing production costs.
