Sažetak
Reverse engineering is a process of analyzing existing components to obtain enough data to replicate design or knowledge of those parts. Data obtained during reverse engineering can be used to lower production costs, improve component properties, or replace components. In this paper reverse engineering was used to obtain information from wooden model of the motorcycle brake caliper brackets to redesign and improve that component of the motorcycle. First step of the process was to 3D scan the wooden model. Then scan was transferred to CATIA design software for redesign. From there all precise dimensions were defined and final improved models could be 3D printed. Using reverse engineering process on this component allowed us to manufacture new brake caliper brackets so that larger brake discs could be installed thus improving braking power of the motorcycle. In this way original front forks and brake calipers could be used thus eliminating need of upgrading those components and lowering overall cost of the process.
