ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for the creation of a electronic domain geometric modeling data file containing internal and external features of an object of interest by first successively removing contours of material forming the object to form exposed surfaces and thereby reveal the internal and external features contour by contour and second by subsequently, successively acquiring data relative to the exposed surfaces is provided. The geometry of each exposed surface is obtained, processed and recorded after each contour is removed. The processing is converted to perimeter data to define the internal and external features and surfaces of the object and the perimeter data is combined to yield a three dimensional electronic domain representation of the object. If desired this representation can be displayed on a computer monitor or printed onto paper. In a representative embodiment of the present invention a face mill is provided to remove the contours, a scanner is used to obtain the data relative to the exposed surfaces, and a shuttle is used to transport the object between the mill and the scanner for alternating steps of material removal and scanning.
