Current reverse engineering approach is an effective way for technology progress of developing countries. Based on analysis of existing reverse engineering technology, a new concept of Product Reverse Engineering (PRE) is proposed and its theoretical framework is discussed first in this paper in order to extend its application from components to the overall product structure and design process. Then a brief introduction is made to the technical system architecture and key techniques for PRE, which include the rapid solid modeling, integrating with existing CAD systems through STEP file, assembly modeling for conceptual structure, and reverse design process reconstruction. Finally, a prototype system PRE-DARFAD is developed with initial verification by a fixture design example.

The idea of Automatic Reverse Engineering was brought forward, which reduced the requirements of modeling experience, constructed surface more efficient and especially got a more accuracy model. Its main idea was converting triangular meshes which could be easily got automatically and could express arbitrarily complex models into quadrilateral meshes.The concept of reverse engineering, reverse design process and reverse analysis were introduced in this paper, which has been used in teaching practice of mechanical design specialized curriculum, the students will be guided to apply the automatic method of reverse design to the innovation design of product by motorcycle as an example.

Refer to Reverse Engineering of extracting points cloud to generate a digital model, the paper proposes a rational method to design agricultural machinery's appearance. Depending on the product's internal structure contours, we can extract several key points and connect them by four ways: straight lines connecting, arcs connecting, free curves connecting and data fitting. Then we choose and modify the connected lines by a unified style to get the main profile of the machinery, which can better match the structural components. In the end a small self-propelled square baler's design process was presented to describe and testify the method.

A new model for professional development training in the field of mechatronics is presented in this paper. According to this model, students’ first steps in the mechatronic track will be made while they are still in high school. Here they will be exposed to the field of mechatronics, using basic engineering tools such as reverse engineering and design process procedures. Through the reverse engineering process students will get insight into how both everyday and hi-tech products are engineered. Students will study the basic building blocks of a system, how they are connected, and the kind of interfaces being used. In addition, the high school program will show students how a system is designed. The design process is based on engineering methodology, which includes writing specifications, seeking a few alternative solutions and choosing the best one for the given problem. After determining which is the best system, students build it using the available technical tools such as Lego® bricks and a Lego microcontroller. This basic introduction to mechatronics, when given to high school students, is liable to lead them to seriously consider this field when deciding about their future careers. Such a program will present students with an overview of the broad knowledge needed by mechatronic systems designers. The model presented in this article can be represented using the letter “I”, where the lower horizontal line of the letter symbolizes the high school program, the long vertical line symbolizes both basic and disciplinary academic studies, and the top horizontal line symbolizes the interdisciplinary mechatronic broadening.
