Virtual Geometrical Data Definition of Part with Unspecified Shape

Abstract

The contribution deals with the geometrical data definition of part with unspecified variable radius by means of modern equipment and computer aid. There are described some problems that originate at the real part digitizing. The possibility of virtual 3D model creating is given due to the modern equipment so called scanners. After the sections of scanned model were created,their contours were interpolated or approximated by curves of Bezier and Spline type. The curves were covered with a coat surface created as a Pro/Engineering systems own element, so the geometrical data were readable also for CAM system area. The virtual model serves for the generating of CL data to make new part on NC/CNC machine. The manufacturing of the part with CNC machine utilization enables to increase the production efficiency and the part quality.
