Reverse engineering of B-pillar with 3D optical scanning for manufacturing of non-uniform thickness part

Abstract: Abstract. This paper presents reverse engineering (RE) of a complex automobile structural part, B-pillar. As a major part of the automobile body-in white (BiW), B-pillar has substantial opportunity for weight reduction by introducing variable thickness across its sections. To leverage such potential, an existing B-pillar was reverse engineered with a 3D optical scanner and computer aided design (CAD) application. First, digital data (i.e. in meshes) of exiting B-pillar was obtained by the scanner, and subseque… Show more

“…The Weibull and Rayleigh functions are the most commonly used PDFs to study wind characteristics at the target location [7,8,9]. Reverse engineering provides powerful tools in the CATIA V5 (now referred to simply as CATIA) environment [10], enabling flexibility in manipulating point clouds and meshes to optimize them into high-end 3D surface shapes. RE Integrated in the CATIA design environment helps reduce project costs and is more efficient and effective by employing faster and simpler design iterations.…”
