Data Process for Reverse Engineering Technology

Abstract:

Reverse engineering has become an important tool for CAD model construction from the data points, measured by a coordinate measuring machine (CMM), of an existing part. However, due to special structure and complex topology relation, obtaining full surface data of a prototype is not an easy thing and should carry out complex data process procedure to get global model. The paper presents a method for pre-processing data points for curve fitting in reverse engineering. The proposed method has been developed to process the measured data points before fitting into a B-spline form. The method is implemented and used for a practical application in reverse engineering. The result of the reconstruction proves the viability of the proposed method for integration with current commercial CAD systems.
