                Before coming to our main topic reverse engineering.. let us know what is engineering?                     
                Engineering is the science, skill, and profession of acquiring and applying scientific, economic, social, and practical knowledge, in order to design and also build structures, machines, devices, systems, materials and processes.  yes making new things which will help humans to solve their problems is engineering.
           
 Then what is reverse engineering?                  
          Reverse engineering is the process of discovering the technological principles of a device, object, or system through analysis of its structure, function, and operation. It often involves taking something (e.g., a mechanical device, electronic component, software program, or biological, chemical, or organic matter) apart and analyzing its workings in detail to be used in maintenance, or to try to make a new device or program that does the same thing without using or simply duplicating (without understanding) the original. 


Reverse engineering using CATIA
         Yes catia is used for reverse engineering. do watch following video it is just amazing..

          This Thanksgiving, CATIA users had one more thing to be thankful for—CATIA Natural Sketch. It’s a tool to help industrial designers more quickly bring product ideas into 3D and validate their feasibility—shaving time and dollars throughout the design process.

You simply draw on a pen display—just like you’d draw on a piece of paper—and the technology turns your concept into 3D right before your eyes. Your sketches can instantly become the basis of a new 3D model or part of an existing one. See it in action below:



           From a performance perspective, CATIA Natural Sketch streamlines your workflow by eliminating many of the feasibility and design intent interpretation issues that sometimes arise with 2D sketches. All this can lead to better quality design.

           Unlike other sketch programs that have been popping up recently, you need a CATIA seat to obtain the technology. CATIA Natural Sketch completes the comprehensive CATIA for Creative Designers solution.



            Will you still sketch on paper first? Would you invest in a pen  display system so you can use this technology? Let all of us in the icad4you community know about your experiences with CATIA Natural Sketch.
