Reverse engineering is the process of discovering the technological principles of a device, object or system through analysis of its structure, function and operation. The purpose is to deduce design decisions from end products with little or no additional knowledge about the procedures involved in the original production.

At Ekvall Engineering, reverse engineering involves taking something apart, usually a mechanical device and analyzing its workings in detail to try to make a new device that does the same thing without copying anything from the original.

Another type of reverse engineering involves producing 3-D images of manufactured parts when a blueprint is not available in order to remanufacture the part. To reverse engineer a part, the part is measured by a coordinate measuring machine (CMM). As it is measured, a 3-D wire frame image is generated and displayed on a monitor. After the measuring is complete, the wire frame image is dimensioned. Any part can be reverse engineered using these methods.
