In reverse engineering, the research on the forward and reverse hybrid modeling has become a hot spot in recent years. The methods and characteristics of hybrid modeling commonly seen in reverse engineering are introduced, and a hybrid modeling method is presented based on automatic feature recognition and mesh sketch. Using Geomagic Design X software as a platform for solid reconstruction, the design parameters were redefined according to the design intention. The historical tree of Computer Aided Design (CAD) data model which can be edited was obtained by an example. The accuracy and convenience of the hybrid modeling are verified.
