My job occasionally requires me to reverse engineer parts, and my employer has thoughtfully provided a Coordinate measuring machine for this purpose.
ANyone else use one at work?

I've always wondered about that process. What does one do to keep from running afoul of copyright or patents on items that you reverse-engineer? Somebody told my you just change the design a minimum of 10% to avoid litigation.

That's not really my area of expertise.
when i reverse engineer something, i end up changing it that much anyway just to make it easier to manufacture and draw.

We have a Mitutoyo CMM machine here. I don't use it a whole lot, but all of the results/coordinates are given to me to redraw. It's a handy machine.
