	abstract = {<p>The driving force behind the work herein presented is the importance of budgeting in a competitive market. The problem at hands is the creation of a budgeting methodology for reverse engineering applications, involving laser scanning, that has the ability to generate budgets for different customer accuracy requirements and for parts of different morphologic characteristics, such as: shape, dimension and/or detail complexity. A breakup approach was used to implement the methodology: the reverse engineering process was broken in nine basic identified steps and elementary sources of cost were defined at the different reverse engineering stages as well. Particular budgeting methodologies for each step of the process were created. The obtained results so far point to the possibility of creating a complete budgeting system based on the proposed methodology. {\textcopyright} 2008 Taylor \&amp; Francis Group.</p>
