scanning technology can capture a product in digital 3D and the information remodel
in a CAD package and exported for manufacture or for computer Finite element
analysis to aid the products development.
The main focus of the research study is to investigate how digital reverse
engineering and prototyping can reduce the product design cycle time. By applying
the methods of reverse engineering to reverse engineer a bicycle helmet, the study
will aim to fulfil the following objective:
Create a digital computer model of a off the self helmet using appropriate
techniques.
Simulate digital prototype tests of the helmet and compare the results with ones
carried out on bought in example.
Explore the relationship between aesthetic and mechanical design features that
support safety.
Study the material properties that support safety and sustainability.
Explore the human factors (ergonomics) that govern helmet design.
