Engineers can now reverse-engineer 3D models

A system that uses a technique called Structural Solid Geometry (CSG) allows MIT researchers to deconstruct objects and transform them into 3D models, allowing them to reverse engineer complex things. The system was published in an article titled "InverseCSG: Automatic Conversion of 3D Models into CSG Trees" by Tao Du, Jeevana Priya Inala, Yewen Pu, Andrew Spielberg, Adriana Schulz, Daniela Rus, Armando Solar-Lezama and Wojciech Matusik. "At a high level, the problem is the reverse engineering of a triangle mesh into a single tree. Ideally, if you want to customize an object, it's best to have access to the original
