This process referred to as reverse engineering involves extracting the construction elements from an existing original product by examining its structures, states, and behaviors. This results in creating a blueprint from the original instrument. In contrast to functional imitation (the usual manner of reproduction), reverse engineering aims to replicate the given object as accurately as possible and to understand its manufacturing process.
