# Reverse Engineering

Reverse Engineering is the systematic process of deconstructing an existing manufactured product—be it software, hardware, or a mechanical component—to understand its design, structure, and internal operation.

This process essentially works backwards, moving from the finished physical product to its original design documentation and specifications (e.g., creating a **[3D CAD](https://www.o2oh.com/glossary/3d-cad) **model from a physical part).

Reverse engineering is a critical skill for industrial maintenance and innovation: **[legacy systema](https://www.o2oh.com/glossary/legacy-systems) **modernization, ensuring interoperability between components from different manufacturers, [**forensic analysis**](https://www.o2oh.com/glossary/forensic-analysis) to understand failures, and speeding up product development by analyzing competitor designs.
