About reverse injection mold

Reverse engineering replicates a product by performing a detailed inspection of its structure or composition. It tries to replicate a product or mold by taking all the original dimensions and recreating it. Manufacturers often use this process to re-mold plastic parts when the original design files are lost or no longer exist. The closest comparison is redevelopment of parts for vehicles that are no longer in production.

The so-called reverse engineering technology refers to the process of measuring the physical object or model through certain measurement methods, and reconstructing the physical model through the three-dimensional geometric modeling method according to the measurement data. Reverse engineering techniques are very different from traditional forward design. Traditional product design often requires a design process from scratch. Reverse engineering is based on the prototype of the product, and then a 3D digital model of the product is obtained, which can be further processed by advanced technologies such as CAD/CAM/CAE. The difference in the design process is that the starting point of the design is different, and the corresponding design freedom and plastic mold design requirements are also different.
