Abstract :
Surface splining is used to obtain a differential geometric model for complicated smooth surfaces, e.g., refurbished compressor blades. Modifications to standard parametric splining techniques are introduced to improve the accuracy of the modelling scheme, to maintain stability, and to clear the way for real-time automation. The differential geometry underlying the model can be used to assist in deburring, surface finishing and tool-position control.
