Abstract

The use of reverse engineering (RE) is one of the most important methods used in manufacturing technology, both old and new; Due to its positive role towards continuous product improvement processes. Especially if the methodology of its operations is integrated with modern technological technologies, including 3D laser scanners, digital control mechanisms for CNC deleting machines and addition mechanisms such as 3D printers, through the use of flexible automation mechanisms and modern programs to achieve more economic efficiency and productivity for the furniture industry. In addition to Attempting to provide a methodology that solves many of the problems that we have raised, threatening the competitive role in the furniture industry locally and internationally.

Therefore, this research study aims to identify the origin of reverse engineering with an explanation of its most important concepts, highlighting the legal and economic aspect, and the most important areas of its use, as well as addressing the positive role of the importance of its use in various industries in general and in the furniture industry in particular, and in the technical fields of design and manufacturing and development for the furniture industry.
