Research Initiation: A Fundamental Approach to the Integration of Dimensional Inspection into CAD/CAM

几何建模系统是任何系统中的基本构建块。 基于机械的离散产品计算机辅助设计系统 工程. 已经开发了一些这样的系统。 然而，在这方面， 目前还不可能有效地利用它们来建立 零件尺寸公差。 这个问题将在 三个阶段。 在第一阶段，公差将在 数学术语 在第二阶段，验证 将开发尺寸正确性。 在第三阶段， 将进行实验以证明公差可以 实际上被验证，并且可以执行组装验证 使用机器视觉检测。

A geometric modeling system is a basic building block in any computer-aided design system for discrete products based on mechanical engineering. A number of such systems have been developed. However, it is not yet possible to use them effectively for establishing tolerances on dimensions of parts. This problem will be addressed in three phases. In the first phase, tolerances will be defined in mathematical terms. In the second phase, algorithms which verify dimensional correctness will be developed. In the third phase, experiments will be conducted to demonstrate that the tolerances can indeed be verified, and that verification for assembly can be performed using machine vision inspection.
