A Sensing Strategy for the Reverse Engineering of Machined Parts

We do not have a preprint copy of this article to post so please request it through inter-library loan from your home library or use the link below to obtain a final published copy from Springer.The reverse engineering of machined parts requires sensing an existing part and producing a design (and perhaps a manufacturing process) for it. We have developed a reverse engineering system that has proven effective with a set of machined parts. This paper describes the system, presents some results, and discusses strategy for a new system.http://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/BF0125835
