MachineWorks Ltd. makes available a new reference example for making additive repair paths.

Polygonica is built to be a software library for working with polygon meshes used by companies in various industrial markets to address complex 2D and 3D geometrical challenges.

The workflow for this demonstration involves:

  • automatic repair of the mesh created by the scanner;
  • aligning the scan of the worn part with the original design part;
  • computing smooth boundaries of the worn region on the design part;
  • computing a milling toolpath to remove material in the worn region.
  • computing an additive toolpath to add material to fill the volume of missing material
  • export the toolpaths to a MachineWorks demo to visualize the results.

For more details, see automating turbine blade repair on the Polygonica blog and the Polygonica YouTube channel.
