New Digital Method of Reverse Engineering about Free from Surface

Abstract

In this paper, it is proposed a new method of free-from surface’s reverse engineering, making data acquisition and surface reconstruction form closed loop system, solving no feedback problems in the measuring and modeling process, shortening the time of the whole reverse engineering, improving the quality of reconstructed models. The core of this paper is used the CMM adaptive measuring method and non-uniform b-spline surface reconstruction method, integrating the free-from surface measuring and modeling in a closed loop system, realizing the CMM real-time online measurement and reconstructed surface real-time update.
