  • Adaptively machining component surfaces and hole drilling
    Patent number: 9817389
    Abstract: A method includes receiving a design surface data set, obtaining a component surface data set from the inspection of a component, creating a modified surface data set in response to the design surface data set and the component surface data set, generating a machining path in response to the modified surface data set, and machining the component in response to the machining path to produce a machined component according to the modified surface data set. The machined component deviates from the design surface data set.
    Type: Grant
