Solid modeling refers to techniques for unambiguous representations of three- dimensional objects. The most widely used techniques for solid modeling have been Constructive Solid Geometry (CSG) and Boundary Representation (BRep). Contemporary solid modeling systems typically support both representations, and bilateral conversions between CSG and BRep are essential. However, computing a CSG from a BRep is largely an open problem. This paper presents 3D geometric reasoning algorithms for converting a BRep into a special CSG, called Destructive Solid Geometry (DSG) whose Boolean operations are all subtractions. The major application area of BRep-to-DSG conversion is feature recognition, which is essential for integrating CAD and CAM.

In CAD/CAM system, it is required to produce manufacturing information from the deawing output of design system. The most difficult task is to formulate 3-dimentional modeling information utilizing 2-dimentional data. This paper addresses the automatic converting steps of 2-dimentional drawing data to 3-dimentional solid modeling using feature recognition rules as an expert shell. With the standardization of design process and recognition rule as a fundamental steps, the developed system shows a good application tool which can interface the design and manufacturing stage in CAD/CAM system of PC level.

This paper presents a method for automatic part feature recognition from the database of AutoCAD system for automatic process planning input. The parts considered in this study are primastic parts composed of faces perpendicular to the X, Y, Z axes and the types of features considered are through steps, blind steps, through slots, blind slots, and pockets. Features are recognized by using the concept of convex points and concave points. The software program is coded by using Turbo Pascal on the IBM PC/AT.

In the process of mechanical assembly design, assembly modeling systems have been used mainly for the design verification before manufacturing by enabling to check the interference and/ or the dynamic and kinematic performance. However, the conventional assembly modeling systems have a shortcoming that they can not be used in the initial design stage but can be used only after the design is fully completed. In other words conventional assembly modeling systems provide bottom-up modeling which means that the detailed modeling of components must precede the definition of relationships between them. To resolve this problem, an assembly modeling system is proposed to provide a top-down modeling environment in which components and assembly can be modeled simultaneously. To this end, an assembly data structure suitable for top-down assembly modeling has been established. Feature positioning Module(FPM) using geometric constraints has been also developed. The Sekective Solving Method proposed for FPM is based on the priority between the constraint equations and enables the designer's intent expressed by geometric constraints to be maintained throughout the whole modeling process. Finally, the feature based modeling technique using two-level features has been developed. Two-level features include an abstract model and a detailed model in a merged form in non-manifold data frame.

In this paper, we study the problem of computing smooth feature curves from CAD type point clouds models. The proposed method reconstructs feature curves from the intersections of developable strip pairs which approximate the regions along both sides of the features. The generation of developable surfaces is based on a linear approximation of the given point cloud through a variational shape approximation approach. A line segment sequencing algorithm is proposed for collecting feature line segments into different feature sequences as well as sequential groups of data points. A developable surface approximation procedure is employed to refine incident approximation planes of data points into developable strips. Some experimental results are included to demonstrate the performance of the proposed method.

Off-line programming and robot calibration through simulation are essential when setting up a robot in a robot automation production line. In this study, we developed a new robot calibration method to match the CAD data of the production line with the measurement data on the site using 3D scanner. The proposed method calibrates the robot using 3D point cloud data through Iterative Closest Point algorithm. Registration is performed in three steps. First, vertices connected by three planes are extracted from CAD data as feature points for registration. Three planes are reconstructed from the scan point data located around the extracted feature points to generate corresponding feature points. Finally, the transformation matrix is calculated by minimizing the distance between the feature points extracted through the ICP algorithm. As a result of applying the software to the automobile welding robot installation, the proposed method can calibrate the required accuracy to within 1.5mm and effectively shorten the set-up time, which took 5 hours per robot unit, to within 40 minutes. By using the developed system, it is possible to shorten the OLP working time of the car body assembly line, shorten the precision teaching time of the robot, improve the quality of the produced product and minimize the defect rate.

In this paper, a precision inspection technique using CAD/CAI integration is proposed for the parts having very thin and sharp 3 dimensional curve features. The technique begings with feature reconstruction of turbine blades which have 3 dimensional combined feometry, such as splines, and thin circles. The alifnment procedures consistsb of two phases-rough and fine phases : rough phase alignment is based on the conventional 6 point5s probing on the clear cut surfacef, and fine phase alignment is based on the intial measurement on the 3 dimensional curved parts using an lterative measurement feed-back least sequares technique for alignment. Forf the analysis of profile tolerance of parts, the actual measured points are obtained by finding the closet points on the CAD geometry by the developed subdivision technique and the Tschebycheff norm is applied based on iterative fashion, giving accurate profile tolerance value. The developed inspection technique is applied to practical procedures of blade manufacturing and demonstrated high performance.
