Measurment Tools

Reverse engineering is the process of taking apart an object to see how it works in order to duplicate or enhance the object. To reverse-engineer a physical object, you need to measure it and then reconstruct it as a 3D model. Some of the measurement tools you can use are calipers, micrometers, gauges, rulers,protractors, and levels.
In this course, we will discuss the most widely used and popular measurement tools. We will cover their uses, components, methods of use, and how to measure with them.

In this course, we will talk about the vernier clipper, the micrometer, dial indicator,fillet gauge, thread gauge, inner compass, outer compass, Blocks angle gauge, gauge blocks, thickness gauge, feeler gauge, Surface roughness, bevel protractor.

• Vernier clipper: A measuring tool that uses a vernier scale to measure the distance between two points.

• Micrometer: A precision measuring tool that uses a calibrated screw to measure small distances.

• Dial indicator: A measuring tool that uses a dial to display measurements.

• Fillet gauge: A tool used to measure the radius of an inside or outside corner.

• Thread gauge: A tool used to measure the pitch or lead of a screw thread.

• Inner compass: A tool used to measure the inside diameter.

• Outer compass: A tool used to  measure the outside diameter .

• Blocks angle gauge: A tool used to measure angles with high accuracy.

• Gauge blocks: A set of precision blocks used to calibrate measuring tools.

• Thickness gauge: A tool used to measure the thickness of materials.

• Feeler gauge: A tool used to measure the gap between two objects.

• Surface roughness: A tool used to measure the roughness of a surface.

• Bevel protractor: A tool used to measure angles with high accuracy.
