Remanufacturing Engineering in 21st Century

With the 21st century coming, the excellent quality, high benefit, low expense, less pollution will be the aim of the advanced manufacture and maintenance engineering. Along with the form of the systems engineering of the manufacture and maintenance, remanufacturing technology is formed and has been given more and more attention in recent years. The remanufacturing technology, which utilized advanced surface engineering and forming technology, has become a new branch of the advanced manufacturing technology. The relationship between the remanufacturing and the advanced manufacturing is discussed in this paper. The research direction of the remanufacturing technology is elaborated also.
