Abstract: Every manufacturing process leaves on the surface a signature, i.e., a systematic pattern that characterizes all the features machined with that process. The present work investigates the effects of considering the ...

Abstract: When dealing with inspection or reverse modeling, the problem of free-form curves and surfaces reconstruction has to be faced starting from a set of measured points. Because in point sampling ...

Abstract: In evaluating the geometrical characteristics of mechanical part, cleverness may be added with the definition of an empirical model representing the “signature” left by the manufacturing process ...

Abstract: A workholding fixture should ensure a stable and precise positioning of the workpiece with respect to the machine tool. This requirement is even more important when modular fixtures are used ...
