  • Method for rendering, evaluating and optimizing a surface quality based on CNC program data
    Patent number: 6832128
    Abstract: The invention is directed to rendering a three-dimensional view of a workpiece shape based on a point set using a normal vector representation. The distribution of the normal vectors can be analyzed by a centered view of the normal vectors, which can be done manually and/or automatically. These structures give a first indication of the surface quality. In addition to the centered representation, the normal vectors can also be directly overlaid on the path, which facilitates the determination of local flaws. In addition, a pseudo-surface view can be generated based on the position of the normal vectors.
