Reverse Engineering Workshop: CAD Model Replication
About the Event
The CAD Club organized a workshop on “Disassemble a Simple Mechanical Product and Replicate its CAD Model” on 23-02-2026 at R. No. 2607. The workshop aimed to strengthen students’ practical understanding of reverse engineering and CAD modelling. It focused on bridging theoretical design concepts with real-world mechanical products through disassembly and digital replication.
Functional Analysis in Engineering Practice
Dr. S. Lakshmi Narayana, Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering, coordinated the workshop with expert guidance. A total of 35 II B.Tech Mechanical Engineering students actively participated in the activity. The students worked in groups and disassembled simple mechanical products such as clamps, gear assemblies, and locks. They measured components using precision instruments like vernier calipers and micrometers. Later, they recreated accurate 3D CAD models of each part and assembled them virtually. The session emphasized product architecture, assembly constraints, and manufacturing considerations. It highlighted the importance of design intent and functional analysis in engineering practice.
Key Takeaways
The students gained confidence in applying theoretical knowledge to real mechanical products. They appreciated the opportunity to practice CAD modelling and assembly replication. They also valued the clarity provided on design intent and manufacturability concepts. They highlighted teamwork and collaboration as key strengths developed during the activity. The feedback revealed improved analytical thinking and problem-solving skills. The organizers noted that students showed enthusiasm and technical curiosity throughout the session. The workshop achieved its objective of enhancing CAD proficiency and mechanical design understanding. It also successfully promoted experiential learning and industry-oriented skills. The organizers expressed gratitude to the faculty, participants, and coordinators for their active involvement. The event strengthened practical knowledge and prepared students for future engineering challenges.
