In this short video, I'm sharing a reverse engineering project of an automotive mirror component.
The original part was reconstructed in CATIA V5 and then reviewed inside the 3DEXPERIENCE platform. During the video, you can also see a glimpse of the slider sealing surface design, which is one of the important areas considered later in the mold design process.
This post is mainly about exploring and becoming more familiar with the tools, workflows, and visualization capabilities available in the latest 3DEXPERIENCE environment.
As a CATIA Champion, one of my goals is to share more practical engineering content around CATIA and 3DEXPERIENCE. In future posts, I'll try to include short videos showing parts of the reverse engineering workflow, surface modeling techniques, mold design activities, and some of the newer capabilities introduced in recent releases. I also plan to compare certain workflows with CATIA V5 and highlight where the newer platform can provide advantages in daily engineering projects.
Many thanks to Fabio Ballari and the CATIA Champions team for continuously supporting the community and providing opportunities to explore and learn more about the evolving CATIA and 3DEXPERIENCE ecosystem.
More details about this project, including 3D-printed prototypes and additional engineering considerations, will be shared in upcoming posts.
