Non-contact method of part surface scanning

Abstract

Reverse engineering is now considered one of technologies for improving the quality of products and manufacturing equipment. It is a technology to provide business benefits in shortening the product development cycle. This paper shows that using two-dimensional laser CNC scanner with appropriate software can give acceptable results as more dimensional laser. Tool Digitalized Shape Editor of Software Catia V5R18 was applied for completing of scanning data at this experiment. These received data should be helpful and advantageous for using of 2D scanners. Ceramic coffee cup was used for the scanning to keep of author's hand writing.
