Heterogeneous Turbine Blade Modeling Based on Multi-Color Distance Field

Abstract:

In heterogeneous turbine blades, multiple materials can be synthesized to provide better properties than any single material. In this paper, a new method for turbine blade modeling toward reverse engineering, termed as multi-color distance field, is presented. In this method, the material field describing the material composition continuous or discontinuous variation is associated with the signed distance field describing the geometry model. The method allows the designers to design and optimize no only the geometry but also the material composition of an object. Moreover, both the geometry model and the material information can be easily sliced to manufacture for the object represented using the associated multi-color distance field.
