Abstract: The concept of Reverse engineering is used worldwide in industrial applications. This comprises of getting the geometric CAD model from the clouds of 3D points obtained by scanning existing components. Introducing the concept to medical applications requires specialized skills in both medicine and health as well as CAE (Computer Aided Engineering) applications. Many reverse engineering uses in medicine focused on building technologies around case studies performed in vitro and in vivo. This paper demonstrates an algorithm for applying the reverse engineering concept to medical applications. The research concentrate on developing different applications as well as other potential advances in the area of medicine and health with regard to in vitro applications
