PT Journal AU Wrobel, I TI The use of Reverse Rngineering in the Design of New Stamping Dies SO Acta Mechanica Slovaca PY 2014 BP 82 EP 86 VL 18 IS 1 DI 10.21496/ams.2014.012 DE Reverse engineering; 3D scanning; Stamping; Drawpiece AB The paper presents a methodology developed by the author for reconstructing surfaces of shaping punches and die blocks. It involves the use of specialised tools available in a commercial CAD system. These are the tools that are used to adjust selected surfaces of the geometricmodel of a part to the cloud of points representing the surface of the part, which may be obtained from a scan. The usefulness of these tools is examined usinga punch used in the automotive industry as an example. ER
