What is Reverse Engineering? – Lesson 1

Aircraft, industrial machinery, agricultural equipment, appliances and more can outlive their expected lifetimes, making parts hard to find. So, how do you fix a machine when you can’t order the part?

The answer is reverse engineering — the action of recreating an existing design to replicate or replace parts that are hard, or impossible, to obtain any other way. This lesson covers the importance of reverse engineering in industry and introduces Discovery software as a useful tool for reverse engineering.
