Reverse engineering, also known as reverse engineering, refers to the process of reverse analysis of existing products or models, dissecting and restoring them through certain technical means, so as to obtain information such as their internal structure and function.

This paper focuses on the application of reverse engineering technology in the process of product design, focuses on the application and latest development trends of reverse engineering technology that is closely related to design, and puts forward its own views on related issues. The purpose of this article is to find a fast, accurate and efficient way to design products through further research.

In the field of product design, the application of reverse engineering is mainly reflected in the following aspects:

First, in terms of product innovation, reverse engineering can help designers obtain the internal structure and design concepts of competitors' products, so as to better understand their design ideas and concepts, and provide inspiration and reference for their own product innovation. For example, designers can analyze the appearance structure, materials, and processes of a popular product through reverse engineering, so as to provide reference and inspiration for their own new product design.

Second, in terms of product imitation, reverse engineering is a fast and accurate method that can help enterprises quickly realize product imitation and replication. For example, some manufacturers can analyze the characteristics of the product appearance, structure, materials, and processes of well-known foreign brands through reverse engineering, so as to produce similar products for themselves. This approach can help companies reduce costs, shorten R&D cycles, and improve product quality and performance.

Thirdly, in terms of product inspection, reverse engineering can help designers accurately detect and evaluate the appearance of products. For example, designers can reverse engineer the characteristics of the product's appearance and structure, materials, and processes, so as to accurately measure and evaluate it to ensure that the quality and performance of the product meet the expected requirements.

As an important means of new product development and digestion and absorption of advanced technology, reverse engineering and rapid prototyping technology can be competent to digest the requirements of foreign technological achievements. Their emergence has changed the traditional product design and development model, greatly shortened the time cycle of product development, and improved the success rate of product development. Nowadays, industries are increasingly focusing on the design of products as a way to attract customers and ultimately succeed in business. Nowhere is this more evident than in the design of consumer products. Especially in industries such as mobile phones, digital cameras, and automobiles.

1.1 Reverse engineering and its scope of application.

In the industrial field, it is often encountered that there is a need to build a 3D digital model of the model or the physical object. This uses reverse engineering technology, reverse engineering, also known as reverse engineering, which refers to the process of measuring the physical object or model with a certain measurement method, that is, digital sampling, and then reconstructing the CAD digital model of the physical object through the three-dimensional geometric modeling method according to the measurement data, so as to realize the process of product design and manufacturing.

The practical application of reverse engineering in the field of industrial manufacturing mainly includes the following aspects:

a) The design of new parts, mainly used for product modification or imitation design;

b) Copying and imitation of existing parts, reproduction of original product design, imitation of complex products, etc.;

c) Restoration of damaged or worn parts for repair or remake;

d) Product detection, such as detection and analysis of product deformation, detection of welding quality, etc., in order to urgently analyze the error between the processed product and the three-dimensional digital model.

In the manufacturing industry, reverse engineering has become one of the important ways to digest and absorb new technologies and secondary development. As an important means of improving the design, it effectively accelerates the response of new products to the market. At the same time, reverse engineering also provides good technical support for rapid prototyping, and has become one of the important and simple ways to transmit information in the manufacturing industry. In addition, reverse engineering also has good applications in the fields of culture, art and medicine, including artistic aesthetic design based on wooden or clay models, digital cultural relics and digital museums, virtual surgery, etc.

In short, in the field of product design, reverse engineering is a very important technical means, which can help designers obtain the internal structure and design concept of competitors' products, quickly realize product imitation and copying, and improve product quality and performance.
