Abstract
Reverse engineering is an effective method applied to development of many kinds of products. This research dealt with reverse engineering for a product with free-form surfaces. Firstly, general procedure of reverse engineering was surveyed. Secondly, as an example, computer aided design and manufacturing of a lure and its die casting mould were carried out based on reverse engineering, in which the three-dimensional data was gotten from photos of the lure. Finally, some results and considerations were summarized.
