Submitted by Assist. Lect. Muntadher Saleh Mahdi<br />Reverse engineering refers to the procedure of acquiring a geometric computer aided design model by scanning or digitizing existing parts or products to obtain 3-D points. Reverse engineering is the procedure of digitally recording the physical attributes of a component. The primary goal of reverse engineering is to gain insights into how something works, even if the original blueprints, source code, or documentation is not available. This is particularly valuable when dealing with legacy systems, outdated software, or proprietary technology.<br />
