To improve the low accuracy and efficiency in reverse engineering
a new approach is proposed to generate tool path from the measured data by direct projection. Following the principle of projection algorithm
an iterative process is defined to continuously update the neighboring points
then an approximate plane fitted with least squares method is created for calculating the intersection of the object and the projection ray. The procedure is repeated until the required accuracy is met. The tool path generation technique based on the reference surfaces is discussed. A reference surface is created for the input point cloud
the sampling points on tool paths are defined and projected on the offset of the point cloud
and cubic B-spline is chosen to interpolate the projecting points to generate a tool path. The experiments show that the proposed strategy avoids the surface reconstruction and improves the effectiveness and accuracy with stable computation and simple operation.
