Abstract: A method for generating a scanplan for inspection of a component is provided. The method includes loading a geometric model of the component and generating the scanplan of the component based on the geometric model and at least one scanning parameter. A method of inspecting a component is also provided and includes loading a geometric model of the component, generating a scanplan of the component based on the geometric model and at least one scanning parameter, mounting the component on an inspection system manipulator and inspecting the component including moving an inspection probe relative to the component using the scanplan.

Abstract: A system and method for identifying flaws in a part being inspected includes generating a 3-d representation of the part, the 3-d representation comprising 3-d spatial coordinates corresponding to different locations on the part, and registering the 3-d spatial coordinates with corresponding locations of a part being inspected. An image of the part being inspected is generated, and a flaw in the part being inspected is identified from the generated image. A location of the flaw is correlated to a corresponding 3-d spatial coordinate, and a device is controlled to perform an operation on the part being inspected at the flaw location using information of the corresponding 3-d spatial coordinate.
