Abstract

The paper presents the reverse engineering process for a chain sprocket using 3D scanning technology. First, a detailed 3D scan using an Artec Space Spider 3D scanner is made in order to generate the digital model. Subsequently, based on this model, the 3D modelling process is performed using specialized modelling software such as Artec Studio, Geomagic Design X, and Autodesk Inventor to recreate the geometry and features of the part. A 3D printing technology based on an Ultimaker S5 Pro printer is used to obtain a physical prototype of the part. This technology provides a practical and efficient solution in the reconstruction process of complex objects. The reverse engineering method is useful in different areas such as engineering, manufacturing and repairs, facilitating the reproduction or complete of missing essentials components.
