This work discusses issues concerning the implementation of scanning of unknown engineering objects containing just simple (i.e. no freeform) surfaces with touch probes on three-axis computer numerical control (CNC) measuring machines in order to reconstruct their shape in a computer aided design (CAD) system. Several ideas are put forward e.g. scanning along vertical slicing planes adaptive point sampling distances in-process ‘proactive’ segmentation of points into curve sections and probe radius compensation in two directions as well as limited remedy of edge scanning ambiguities. Most of the suggested algorithms are implemented as parametric numerical control (NC) programs on an OKUMA machining centre.

Obtaining CAD (computer aided design) descriptions of actual parts having complex surfaces is a key part of the process of reverse engineering. This paper is concerned with the estimation of actual surfaces using coordinate measuring machines fitted with a spherically tipped touch probe. In particular, it addresses in detail the problem of probe radius compensation. A general mathematical model, using kriging, is proposed which first generates the initial probe centre surface and then estimates the compensated or part surface. The compensation is achieved using normal vectors to the initial probe centre surface at each measured point to compensate for the probe radius. The method is validated experimentally on known and free-form surfaces.

Reusing existing design models and utilizing an e-Catalog for components are required for faster product development. For the acceleration, an e-Catalog should provide parametric computer aided design (CAD) models, since parametric information is necessary for configuration design. There are difficulties, however, in building a parametric library of all the necessary combinations using a CAD system, because there are too many component combinations for each product. To overcome this problem, we propose a table parametric method to generate parametric CAD models automatically, and describe its details.
