With
the combining of Unigraphics CAD software
and Portable CMM technology,
it is now possible to
"digitize" actual parts into
the virtual CAD environment, manipulate, alter, or analyze them,
then output the information to CNC machining equipment, and produce
an actual part again. |

This
Turbine blade is nearly destroyed.
Replacements are
necessary, but no longer available. The complex shape and curves
would be extremely difficult and time consuming to reproduce by conventional
methods. |

The
answer is to "digitize" the part into CAD format where it can be
analyzed, documented, assembled, and even
altered
"virtually" if needed.
Then output the digital
information to the CNC machining center and produce a perfect replica automatically,
accurately and repeatably. |

The
result is a brand new part that can be mass produced, if needed, by modern
manufacturing techniques, in a fraction of the time that it took to make
it manually when it was first manufactured. |
