With a view to reverse design of product layer, a tri-level precision model of product-part-functional face based on functional face was organized. The products precision information model was recovered from the 3D model, and the precision design was achieved. The implementation process of precision reconstruction was introduced in detail and a piston fixture was presented as an example for validation.

Reverse engineering (RE) is the process of defining and instantiating a model based on the measurements taken from an exemplar object. Traditional RE is costly, requiring extensive time from a domain expert using calipers and/or coordinate measurement machines to create new design drawings/CAD models. Increasingly RE is becoming more automated via the use of mechanized sensing devices and general purpose surface fitting software. This work demonstrates the ability to reverse-engineer parts by combining feature-based techniques with freeform surface fitting to produce more accurate and appropriate CAD models than previously possible.

The existing process equipment design resource utilization rate in automobile industry is low, so it is urgent to change the design method to improve the design efficiency. This paper proposed a fast design method of process equipment driven by classification retrieval of 3D model-based definition (MBD). Firstly, an information integration 3D model is established to fully express the product information definition and to effectively express the design characteristics of the existing 3D model. Through the classification machine-learning algorithm of 3D MBD model based on Extreme Learning Machine (ELM), the 3D MBD model with similar characteristics to the auto part model to be designed was retrieved from the complex process equipment case database. Secondly, the classification and retrieval of the model are realized, and the process equipment of retrieval association mapping with 3D MBD model is called out. The existing process equipment model is adjusted and modified to complete the rapid design of the process equipment of the product to be designed. Finally, a corresponding process equipment design system was developed and verified through a case study. The application of machine learning to the design of industrial equipment greatly shortens the development cycle of equipment. In the design system, the system learns from engineers, making them understand the design better than engineers. Therefore, it can help any user to quickly design 3D models of complex products.
