Fig. 6.4 Main phases of the standard RE process [1]
– Substantiation of the main reason for implementation of RE procedures for the
selected product or a part of it;
– Geometric dimensions of the cloned product in general—large or small;
– Complexity level of the product (simple or complex);
– Number of parts (components) of the product (mechanism) to be subjected to
scanning operations, including indicating whether it is a separate part or several
parts of a single product;
– The material used for production—soft or hard;
– Accuracy required—linear and/or volumetric.
