The Point Cloud Collection of the Incisor Teeth of Beaver and Re-Construction of its Curved Surface

Abstract:

The research of state-of-the-art bionics shows that teeth, claw and animal surface etc. of a lot of animals obtain perfect geometric shape and biologic-mechanical property after long evolutionary process. The paper was based on the bionic research of the incisor teeth of beaver. The point cloud of the incisor teeth was obtained by Reverse Engineering (RE) technology. And the curved surface of the incisor teeth was re-constructed by RE software to get its three-dimensional surface model. All of those research results will supply the base of bionic study to the optimization of the geometric shape and the mechanical property of cutting tools.
