3623 3D 測定データを利用した加工までのネットワークシステム  [in Japanese] Computer network system for manufacturing process using 3D measurement data  [in Japanese]

In manufacturing, exchange of manufacture information through computer network is an important requirement for speeding up production. Recently, there is an increase in demand of machining free surfaces. In conventional method, manufacturing free surfaces is done by using CAD/CAM data, but it is difficult to manufacture an existing object, which does not have any CAD/CAM data. In this paper, we measured an existing object by 3D measuring instrument and the converted data to CAD/CAM data. We built a computer network system for the measurement and manufacturing process and illustrated the system with the example of the free surface of a computer mouse.
