Abstract
The recent growth of industrial computed tomography (CT) scanning systems facilitates volumetric data acquisition for complete industrial components in a non-destructive manner. A potential application of this technology is reverse engineering. However, reconstructing a computer-aided design (CAD) model using industrial CT-scanned data involves many problems. In this paper, we present a semi-automatic method for reconstructing a CAD model from industrial CT-scanned data for reverse engineering. First, the methods to generate a point cloud and feature points from industrial CT-scanned data are presented. Then, two integrated solutions, namely surface feature-based strategy and geometric primitive feature-based strategy, are introduced to reconstruct the surfaces. Finally, modelling operations such as surface trimming and surface deformation are performed to generate the final model. A variety of industrial components were tested to demonstrate the applicability of our method. We also conducted an experiment to validate the accuracy of our method.
