Reverse engineering, the production of parts without CAD data, the reproduction of damaged parts, the creation and production of new parts by making innovations on parts with CAD data is a significant area. Considering the field of mechanical engineering, the surface and geometric properties of an existing part can be reconstructed by reverse engineering application. Within the scope of this study, the possibilities offered by reverse engineering are used to create a three-dimensional (3D) model of an agricultural part and the production of its prototype. The agricultural part was scanned in 3D with the help of a scanner, and a mesh model was created. Afterward, the solid model of the part was created, and the prototype was produced with the help of a 3D printer. The deviations of geometric dimensions between the mesh and solid models were analysed, and their convergence levels were determined. At the end of the study, the geometric values between the solid model and the prototype model were compared, and the deviations from the actual value were determined. Thus, it has been shown that both surface modelling studies and solid model designs can be integrated with reverse engineering software.
