MSA’s Faculty Of Engineering Alumnus Showcases Advanced Reverse Engineering Project at International IWWI Conference

October University for Modern Sciences and Arts (MSA) proudly celebrates an outstanding achievement by its alumnus Mohamed Ammasha, a 2020 graduate of the Faculty of Engineering – Mechatronics Department, who presented an advanced engineering project during the prestigious IWWI Conference.

The conference witnessed a high-level official visit led by Sherif El-Sherbiny, Minister of Housing, Utilities and Urban Communities, accompanied by senior officials from the Ministry. During their tour of the Innovation Pavilion, the delegation stopped at one of the most prominent projects on display—presented by Engineer Mohamed Ammasha.

The project is fully based on reverse engineering technologies, aiming to reproduce a precise industrial component using advanced digital manufacturing tools and entirely local production capabilities. Engineer Ammasha presented a detailed explanation of the project’s development stages, which included 3D scanning of the original component to obtain a highly accurate digital model, followed by the production of a prototype using 3D printing to validate dimensions and design. The final phase involved manufacturing the aluminum mold using high-precision CNC machines, ensuring full compatibility between the digital design and operational requirements.

The Minister praised the technical and executive quality of the project, affirming that it reflects the ability of Egyptian youth to utilize cutting-edge global engineering technologies. He highlighted that such projects demonstrate Egypt’s growing capacity to locally manufacture high-precision industrial components with quality standards comparable to international products—particularly when built on solid scientific foundations and meticulous execution.

Engineer Mohamed Ammasha emphasized that the project faced significant technical challenges, especially in achieving the required accuracy in 3D scanning, selecting appropriate materials for 3D printing, and executing high-precision CNC machining of aluminum. He confirmed that all stages of production were completed using 100% local resources, reflecting strong national manufacturing potential.

The Minister further stressed that the importance of this project extends beyond technical innovation, as it directly supports the national industry by replacing imported components with locally produced alternatives, reducing production costs, and enhancing reliance on modern manufacturing technologies within the Egyptian market. He also expressed his appreciation for the project’s participation in the IWWI Conference as a distinguished model of youth-led engineering innovation that supports Egypt’s strategy for strengthening local manufacturing and advancing research and engineering capabilities.

Through achievers like Engineer Mohamed Ammasha, MSA continues to affirm its role in preparing highly qualified graduates who successfully bridge academic excellence with real-world industrial application, contributing effectively to Egypt’s sustainable development and technological advancement.
