Abstract: A method of performing a finishing operation on a surface of a component includes: acquiring, by a sensing system, an image of the surface of the component; retrieving a CAD model of the surface of the component; comparing the image of the surface of the component with the CAD model of the surface of the component; determining at least one target area on the surface of the component where a difference in a geometry between the image and the CAD model of the surface of the component exceeds a threshold; and displaying at least one visual overlay corresponding to the at least one target area on a real-world content or a virtual content.

Abstract: A method of performing a finishing operation on a surface of a component includes: (a) generating an image of the surface of the component; (b) comparing the image of the surface of the component with a Computer-Aided Design (CAD) model of the surface of the component to identify a target area to be finished; (c) selecting, by a controller, one of a plurality of finishing tools to perform the finishing operation on the target area; (d) operating, by a robot, a selected one of the plurality of finishing tools to perform the finishing operation; (e) measuring a surface roughness of the target area; and (f) repeating steps (a) to (e) until the surface roughness of the target area satisfies a predetermined value.

Abstract: A method for automating a die fabrication process includes obtaining, by one or more controllers, die sensor data from one or more die sensors and image data from one or more image sensors, generating, by the one or more controllers, a command to perform one or more machining tool operations based on the die sensor data and the image data, and controlling, by the one or more controllers, a machining tool to perform the one or more machining tool operations. The method includes selectively adjusting, by the one or more controllers, a position of a robotic arm based on the one or more machining tool operations and training an artificial intelligence system to autonomously perform the die fabrication process based on the one or more machining tool operations, the position of the robotic arm, the image data, the die sensor data, or a combination thereof.
