碩士 === 吳鳳科技大學 === 光機電暨材料研究所 === 104 === This research is focused on the helical blades used in the reel mower machine which uses 5 to 10 helical blades. These blades are normally manufactured using the roll forming process which has certain demerits. This research is done to develop a new process known as Compression process for the manufacture of blades using inverse engineering. To save cost of research, time as well as waste of material the computerized simulation process is being used. The design of the blade as well as the die for the compression and modification are done using software Solidworks. Simulation is performed using software Deform 3D. The simulation result and the actual design are compared using software GEOMAGIC. This study also shows the potential applications of inverse engineering and its benefits in verifying and reinventing the part manufacturing process.
