The B-spline least-squares surface-fitting method is employed to create geometric models of diarthrodial joint articular surfaces. This method provides a smooth higher-order surface approximation from experimental three-dimensional surface data that have been obtained with any suitable measurement technique. Akima’s method for surface interpolation is used to provide complete support to the B-spline surface. The surface-fitting method is successfully tested on a known analytical surface, and is applied to the human distal femur. Applications to other articular surfaces are also shown. Results show that this method is precise, highly flexible, and can be successfully applied to a large variety of articular surface shapes.

Reverse engineering involves digitizing a three-dimensional model or part, by means of a tactile or non-contact optical sensor, converting the data to a CAD (computer aided design) database description and manufacturing by CNC (computer numerical controlled) machines. This paper demonstrates an effective approach to the reverse engineering of physical models by employing a three-dimensional laser scanning system in conjunction with surface-fitting software developed by the authors. Accurate surface data are collected by the laser scanner and then input to the surface-fitting software. Surface entities such as B-spline and quadric functions are employed to build the CAD model. The CAD model is compatible with popular design and manufacturing software packages. A telephone receiver is used to illustrate the efficiency of the process.
