Study on Parametric Reverse Modeling

Methods about parametric reverse modeling have been studied based on products’ point clouds by comparing model rebuilding processes in different ways, such as collaborative reconstruction based on both reverse engineering software Geomagic and 3D modeling software, reverse and forward hybrid modeling based on Rapidform. It‘s concluded that reverse and forward hybrid modeling based on Rapidform takes more advantages in parametric reverse modeling, It is more rapid , accurate, and closer to the design intent.
