Functional Reverse Engineering of Machine Tools

The purpose of this book is to develop capacity building in strategic and non-strategic machine tool technology. The book will contain chapters on how to functionally reverse engineer strategic and non-strategic computer numerical control machinery. Numerous engineering areas will be covered such as Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Control Engineering, Computer Hardware Engineering, and Computer Software Engineering. The book offers guidelines and will cover design for machine tools, prototyping, augmented reality for machine tools, modern communication strategies, and enterprises of functional reverse engineering, along with 13 case studies--
