processing time on the CNC machine.
Given the complex shape and
large dimensions of the workpieces, it
was decided to scan them directly at the
customer’s enterprise using a portable
coordinate measuring machine (CMM)

ScanWorks laser scanner. With its help, a (top) and its corresponding theoretical CAD model.
3D scan of three blanks was made. The
scanning process was carried out in several
KIM reinstallations necessary for access
to product elements from all sides. As a
result, up to six files were obtained for each
blank describing its shape using clouds
of scanned points in various coordinate
systems. Then, using the PowerINSPECT
CAI system (also developed by Delcam),

In addition, auxiliary planes were constructed, which serve to base the theoretical CAD model
of the part relative to the actual workpiece.
After constructing solid-state CAD models of real workpieces, each CAD model of the
theoretical part was combined with a real workpiece model based on the condition of ensuring
the most uniform machining allowance (Fig. 5). A.G. Bazhin, I.A. Pechenkin, V.A. Puzanov.
