Full Description
This edited work focuses on recent advances in Reverse Engineering of macro, micro and nano components for medical, manufacturing and security applications. A general introduction and overview of reverse engineering techniques is presented, followed by a discussion of traditional tools used in reverse engineering including contact methods and non-contact methods and computer tomography and MRI. Throughout, the work an emphasis is placed on recent advances and emerging technology including coverage of ultrasonic systems, scanning force, atomic force and 3D Scanning microscopy. The book concludes with an applications oriented discussion of reverse engineering in the medical, manufacturing and security fields.
