Context: This research presents a review of literature and current state of the Industry 4.0 and Reverse Engineering process with the aim of proposing a design method for the digitization and manufacturing of 3D parts through the use of Digital Manufacturing.Method: A theoretical and systematic review about Industry 4.0 and Reverse Engineering is carried out to determine the relationship between them. Subsequently, several published design methods are analyzed to select one as a reference. Finally, according to the results obtained from the theoretical analysis a proposal of the design method to perform the digitization and manufacture of a 3D piece. The application of the proposed method is validated with the digitalization of one piece and its 3D modeling and printing.Results: We identified that the relationship between Industry 4.0 and Reverse Engineering is the Additive Manufacturing and that the ideal design method for the development of the research is the Archer's model through the perspective of Liu & Boyle, since the proposed model will focus on designer through a process of digitalization. Finally, its application demonstrates its relevance, considering that nowadays the Digital Manufacturing must be a determinant component for Industry 4.0Conclusions: The conditions, particularities and operating costs of the new processes applied by Industry 4.0 imply the need to consider new models to generate benefits for companies in order to become more competitive, profitable and sustainable companies on a global scale. In this context, Digital Manufacturing is presented as an alternative design, which although it has been applied for years, it has not been recognized as a new technological trend, so its inclusion on Industry 4.0 is relevant and necessary.

ResumenContexto: Para la presente investigación se revisó la literatura y actualidad sobre industria 4.0 e Ingeniería Inversa con el objetivo de proponer un método de diseño para la digitalización y fabricación de piezas en 3D a través del uso de Manufactura Digital. Método: Se realiza una revisión teórica y sistemática sobre Industria 4.0 e Ingeniería Inversa para determinar la relación entre ambos conceptos; posteriormente, se analizan diversos métodos de diseño publicados para seleccionar uno como referencia y finalmente, de los resultados obtenidos del análisis teórico, se presenta una propuesta de método de diseño para realizar la digitalización y manufactura de una pieza 3D. Como comprobación, el método se aplica en la captura, modelado e impresión 3D de una pieza. Resultados: Se encuentra que el punto de relación entre Industria 4.0 e Ingeniería Inversa es la Manufactura Aditiva y que el método de diseño ideal para el desarrollo de la investigación es el de Archer a través de las perspectivas de Liu y Boyle, ya que el modelo propuesto se enfocará en el criterio del diseñador a través de un proceso de digitalización. Finalmente, su aplicación demuestra la relevancia de considerar a la Manufactura Digital como un componente determinante para la Ind...
