Reduction in drilling time is desired to minimize operations cost. This work focus on Polycrystalline Diamond Compact (PDC) drill bit which is categorized as a fixed cutter drilling bit. Problem such as wear and tear of PDC cutter are some of the main factors in drilling process failure affecting the rate of penetration (RoP). Thus, an intensive study in drill bit design could potentially save costs if the drill bit efficiency can be improved. The objective of this research is to improve the PDC cutter design and analyse design improvement in relation to the rate of penetration using reverse engineering (RE) approach. RE method is capable of resolving unavailable drill bit blueprint from the manufacturer due to propriety and confidential. RE non-contact data acquisition device, 3D laser scanner will be used to obtain cloud data of the existing worn drill bit. Computer Aided Design (CAD) software is used to convert cloud data of the PDC drill bit into 3D CAD model. Optimization of PDC Drill bit is focused on feature design such as back rake angle, side rake angle and number of cutters. CAE software is used to analyse the effect of the design feature modification to rate of penetration. Results show rate of penetration increases as the angle of both rake angle and number of cutter decreases. © (2014) Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland. date: 2014 publisher: Trans Tech Publications Ltd official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-84905822947&doi=10.4028%2fwww.scientific.net%2fAMM.607.153&partnerID=40&md5=2a1f576069c75478724cca685e034f5c id_number: 10.4028/www.scientific.net/AMM.607.153 full_text_status: none publication: Applied Mechanics and Materials volume: 607 place_of_pub: Jeju Island pagerange: 153-160 refereed: TRUE isbn: 9783038351801 issn: 16609336 citation: Abdul-Rani, A.M. and Ismail, M.Z. and Zaky, M.A. and Noor, M.H.M. and Zhun, Y.Y. and Ganesan, K. and Rao, T.V.V.L.N. and Kamal, S. and Ginta, T.L.
