Reverse Engineering of a Football Boot Sole
Chapter 1 – Introduction and aims of the project
Our task for this section of our integrating studies module has been to reverse engineer the outer sole of a standard football boot. ... The sole needed to be accurately measured using whichever methods were deemed appropriate and then those figures converted into a 3D Unigraphics model. ...
We were to assume that our company ‘Fleetfoot Engineering PLC’ had just won a sub-contract to produce a football boot sole for a large sports equipment firm. However the managing director had lost the engineering drawings for the sole on his way home from the meeting that secured the contract and didn’t want to embarrass himself by asking for another set of drawings. Therefore we were given the task to measure, re-model and re-manufacture the sole from a prototype that he had been given at the meeting. ...
Chapter 4 – Generation of the Unigraphics Model
The X, Y, and Z coordinates generated on the CMM machine for the outer edges of the sole were input into Unigraphics by importing the information from a spreadsheet using the insert points function. This gave us an accurate set of points for the 2D shape of the sole, around which a closed spline needed to be created to allow us to extrude to a depth of 5mm, giving us a 3D solid sole unit. ... The studs were grouped as shown on the sole diagram (see appendix).
