The dictionary defines reverse engineering as “the process of studying or analyzing the principles of a device, object or system to further document its structure, function and operation.”

In state-of-the-art manufacturing, the process of reverse engineering involves analyzing a part down to the smallest detail, in order to make a solid model and/or 2-D drawing to aid in re-manufacturing. We establish the parameters and features of a part through the use of a CMM (coordinate measuring machine) and wide array of manual inspection equipment. Once this is complete, the information is transferred to a CAD engineer who recreates the recorded geometry into an electronic file format via SolidWorks 2009. The measurements take form as an electronic solid model mimicking all aspects of the original part. This model can be easily converted to a 2-D drawing, then fully dimensioned and toleranced for use on the manufacturing floor.

Plouse offers reverse engineering for these common situations:

A particular part is needed by our customer; however documentation was never written or has been lost;

An old or obsolete machine can be re-engineered in an electronic format prior to a re-build, upgrade or repair.

Reverse engineering is not only about bringing an old part back to life, but about using this technology as a launch pad for the future. At Plouse, not only are we able to document an existing part for manufacture, but with planning and forethought, we can evaluate and re-design complex machines and assemblies for fit, functionality, proposed improvements and cost reduction.

Fantastic 3D modeling results are achieved when your 3D model team can work together regardless of their 3D specialty skill set specialization i.e. 3D architectural models, 3D character models, furniture 3D models, human 3d models, etc. It is important that they have a clear understanding of your client’s 3d modeling needs. In order to work or collaborate across different 3D modeling disciplines, you would need to actively manage and empower your 3D model team. Every person on your 3D team has a unique personality and expertise and what works for a 3D model artist specializing in 3D character models might not work for for a 3D software engineer specializing in creating 3D modeling software programs like Maya, 3DS, OBJ, DXF, FBX to name a few.

Teams that specialize in 3D computer graphic animations, 3D architectural model visualizations, and special effects have a wide set of skills that come from team members across several departments complemented with outside expertise and 3d model computer graphics.

These teams can include 3D modelers, rigging designers, motion capture, animators, texture & scenery designers, storyboard artists, software engineers, technical designers, etc.

3D modeling studios that specialize in 3d animation, 3D special effects and 3D model architectural visualization, need multi-disciplinary 3D model teams because no one person has all the answers or all the 3D modeling skill set that are required for the different kinds of 3D models needed. 3D modeling techniques are different depending on the areas a 3D modeler focuses on. For example, 3D furniture model, 3D character model, human 3d model, 3d architectural models, all require different skill sets.

Working and managing several types of creative teams with different personalities and 3D model skill sets can be very challenging. For example, 3D model artists and animators often work with software engineers that specialize in developing applications for 3D modeling, rendering, animation, and special effects software. Their personalities and skill sets are very different.

3D animators have excellent storytelling and computer animation skills while software engineers can effectively develop, implement, test, and support the 3D model software.

The secret to managing your 3D modelers is to empower them to become a high-performing 3d model team that can work with each other to be successful. In order to do this start by empowering each individual in your team.

EMPOWER YOUR 3D MODEL TEAM

A sports coach helps each player become the best team player, so that they can develop and use their talents together as a team and win the game. A 3D manager can also empower the team to win and meet the objective. There are many ways that a 3D model manager can empower their team including fostering trust, open communication, building pride, etc.

Every individual on your team is unique and what works for a 3D model artist might not work for a 3D software engineer. You know that your have empowered your team when they are truly convinced that whatever they have set out (as a team) will work. This empowerment creates excitement and unleashes your team’s creativity.

GIVE YOUR 3D MODEL TEAM THE OVERALL DIRECTION, BUT LET THEM BE THE EXPERTS

Give your team the overall direction and stay back! Take the role of a coach rather than micro-manager. Steer your 3D team in the right direction towards achieving the best results. Ask for proof or clarification of without telling your team what to do. This will allow your team will collaborate with each other across disciplines and each team member will bring their own expertise to the table.

Any sort of rebuke or criticism without a clear purpose or specific situation will not be productive for your 3D model team.

MANAGE AND EMBRACE CHANGE

Movie directors and producers actively manage the film production process which very often requires many changes along the way. They work with actors, cameramen, set designers, costume designers, 3D special effect people, and 3D film editors to produce the final cut of the movie.

Your 3D specialty team (3D architecture model ,3D furniture model, human 3D model, 3D car model, 3D character model, etc) must also be ready to embrace and adapt to changes, such as getting outside tools and expertise, such as custom 3d modeling and rendering services that can customize 3d models and save time and money.

Change is an inevitable part of the process, especially when you are part of a multi-disciplinary team. Group members with very different 3D model skill sets, such as the 3D modelers that specialize in 3D architectural models versus those that specialize in 3D character models must learn how to work and collaborate with each other and be open to moving in a different direction.

Managing creative 3D teams, such as artist that create 3D animations, 3D architectural models and visualizations, and 3D special effects, is like to managing sports and entertainment teams, everyone must get together and work with each other in order to win.

rapid prototype is a process wherein a working model or prototype is developed for the purpose of testing the various product features like design, ideas, features, functionality, performance and output. This process of development of working model is quite quick. The user can give an early feedback regarding the prototype. Rapid prototyping is, generally, a significant and essential part of the system designing process and it is believed to decrease the project cost and risk.

The rapid prototype that is developed by the process of rapid prototyping is based on the performance of earlier designs. Hence, it is possible to correct the defects or problems in the design by taking corrective measures. The product can be produced if the prototype meets the requirements of all designing objectives after sufficient refinement. There are many advantages of rapid prototyping.

Rapid Prototyping -Advantages in brief: Rapid prototyping has manifold advantages. It can provide with concept proof that would be required for attracting funds. The prototype gives the user a fair idea about the final look of the product. Rapid prototyping can enhance the early visibility. It is easier to find the design flaws in the early developmental stages. Active participation among the users and producer is encouraged by rapid prototyping. As the development costs are reduced, rapid prototyping proves to be cost effective. The user can get a higher output.

The deficiencies in the earlier prototypes can be detected and rectified in time. The speed of system development is increased. It is possible to get immediate feedback from the user. There is better communication between the user and designer as the requirement sand expectations are expressed in the beginning itself. High quality product is easily delivered by way of rapid prototyping. Rapid prototyping enables development time and costs. There are many innovative ways in which rapid prototyping can be used.

Despite all these benefits, there are many people who believe that there are many disadvantages of rapid prototyping.

Disadvantages of Rapid Prototyping: Some people are of the opinion that rapid prototyping is not effective because, in actual, it fails in replication of the real product or system. It could so happen that some important developmental steps could be omitted to get a quick and cheap working model. This can be one of the greatest disadvantages of rapid prototyping. Another disadvantage of rapid prototyping is one in which many problems are overlooked resulting in endless rectifications and revisions. One more disadvantage of rapid prototyping is that it may not be suitable for large sized applications.

The user may have very high expectations about the prototype’s performance and the designer is unable to deliver these. The system could be left unfinished due to various reasons or the system may be implemented before it is completely ready. The producer may produce an inadequate system that is unable to meet the overall demands of the organization. Too much involvement of the user might hamper the optimization of the program. The producer may be too attached to the program of rapid prototyping, thus it may lead to legal involvement.

The cost reduction benefit of rapid prototyping also seems to be debatable, as sufficient details regarding the calculation basis and assumptions are not substantial.
