In this Master's Thesis, the stages of an overall reverse engineering process were followed for the measurement, design and manufacture of 3 parts, which make up the parts of a small turboreactor's compressor. The parts of the compressor that were manufactured are characterized by increased complexity and difficulty in both measuring and manufacturing, mainly due to their small size and the presence of fixed vanes. From this particular process, which is described in the following chapters, it has been shown that it is possible to manufacture parts of a small turboreactor with the means available within the Laboratories of a Technological Institution, without very significant problems, as such construction is within the available capabilities, both in infrastructure and knowledge. In general, the whole process was characterized by great success and creates the way for the application of a similar process for other parts of small turboreactors in the future.
