Abstract – Disc brake calipers are the components which plays a vital role in automotive braking systems, which are responsible for slowing down or stopping the vehicle. This project aims to understand the design and functionality of a disc brake caliper through Reverse engineering and create a new, improved prototype. We will disassemble an existing disc brake caliper, analyse its components, and understand its working principles. Using techniques such as 3D scanning and CAD modelling we will create a digital representation of the caliper. This digital model will serve as the basis for our prototyping phase, where we will leverage rapid prototyping technologies to create a physical model of the disc brake caliper. The goal of this project is not only to replicate the existing design but also to identify potential areas for improvement and innovation. By integrating reverse engineering and prototyping, we aim to enhance the performance and efficiency of disc brake calipers.
