The thesis entitled “Reverse Engineering Approach in Making Emirate
Large Plate (Dia-25cm) Design at PT. Doulton” began with problem in transfer
product in NPI Department. Transferred product came with two data, technical
drawing and existing product. Existing product’s diameter was below the
customers’ standard. Technical drawing is chosen for make the 3D CAD data.
Trial result based on technical drawing had different shape with existing product.
According to literature review, reverse engineering is used to get data from
existing product. Thus, the contribution of this research was shown that reverse
engineering approach can be used develop design of Emirate Large Plate (Dia-
25cm) which has complete data but needs adjustment from geometric shape of
existing product. The objective in this research is proposing reverse engineering
approach to make the design of Emirate Large Plate (Dia-25cm) that can be
accepted for both customer and market.
To fulfill all regulations, processes were developed by making 3D CAD
data from technical drawing used PowerSHAPE 2013 software, scanning existing
product used CMM and CMM Manager 3.0 Software, combining two data used
PowerSHAPE 2013.
The results from those processes are 3D CAD data and the milling design
data for company documentation. The design was accepted and ready to be
produce in production. The trial cost calculation showed that $ 2132.576 was
needed to develop trial process. Therefore, around $392.428 can be safe from
trial process with reverse engineering approach.
