REVERSE ENGINEERING OF A SELECTED MACHINE ELEMENT

Završni rad sastoji se od kratkog pregleda povijesti reverznog inženjerstva, 3D skeniranja i 3D ispisa. Za reverzno inženjerstvo navedene su faze kroz koje se izvodi proces reverznog inženjerstva, te su navedene prednosti i nedostatci. Tehnologije 3D skeniranja i 3D ispisa objašnjenje su kroz najučestalije metoda koje se kod njih koriste, te su navedene prednosti i nedostatci za svaku od njih te njihove upotrebe. Proces reverznog inženjerstva, kroz korištenje 3D skeniranja i 3D ispisa, prikazan je i opisan na detaljan način izradom te kasnije 3D ispisom modela odabranog konstrukcijskog elementa čiji su podaci prikupljeni pomoću pomičnog mjerila te 3D skenera. U konačnici je dana usporedba 3D ispisanih modela.The final paper consists of a short history overview of reverse engineering, 3D printing and 3D scanning. The phases through which the reverse engineering process is performed and the advantages and disadvantages are given. Most common technologies of 3D scanning and 3D printing are explained, for each method advantages and disadvantages are given. For the aforementioned technologies, their use in present time and practical examples are given. The reverse engineering, 3D scanning and 3D printing process is presented in detail on the example of the selected construction element. Data about the model was acquired using both, a caliper and a 3D scanner. With the help of the acquired data, 3D models of the construction element were created. Physical models were created using a 3D printer and compare
