ABSTRACT:
A method for reconstructing internal surface geometry of a part includes registering a thickness map for the part with external surface data for the part. The thickness map has a number of thickness data. Internal surface data is generated using the thickness map and the external surface data to reconstruct the internal surface geometry.
