An Integrated Platform for 3D Measurement with Geometric Reverse Engineering
Abstract. Geometric Reverse Engineering (GRE) can be described as the process of fitting surfaces to point data and connecting them to topologically well defined CAD models. We have mounted a laser profile scanner on an industrial robot with a turntable and interfaced them to an Open Source CAD platform. With this tool we have developed an integrated system that can automatically plan and control the robot movements needed to measure an object of unknown shape. Details of this work have been published earlier but we have not described the platform used to integrate the hardware with the GRE software. This paper illustrates the multi disciplinary nature of that problem and investigates what the requirements are for a suitable CAD tool.
Keywords: geometric reverse engineering, 3D measurement system, CAD tool.
