Three-dimensional finite element mesh generation from measured data of a stamping die

The blank design and spring back control of a stamping die by using the bi-arc surface model

“…The reverse engineering is a very popular method to convert the physical object to a 3D geometrical model. Tasi and Chen [1] adopted the reverse engineering technique to generate the suitable mesh for FEM analysis. The scanned random cloud points were sorted and modified to obtain the uniformly distributed points.…”
