A method of re-engineering a part includes generating a parametric master
model for the part from an editable geometry for the part and generating
a manufacturing context model from a design master model. The design
master model includes the parametric master model, and the manufacturing
context model includes a number of tooling features. The method further
includes creating a tooling master model from the manufacturing context
model. The tooling master model includes a tooling geometry for the part.
A system for re-engineering a part includes a part design master model
module configured to generate the parametric master model from the
editable geometry and a tooling master model module configured to receive
the parametric master model, to generate the manufacturing context model
from the parametric master model, and to create the tooling master model
from the manufacturing context model.
