Abstract

Take the ventilator as the object of study, elaborated the method which the reverse-engineering technology and the fast prototype technology unify. Using the IMAGEWARE software process the ventilator cloud data which obtained by three dimensional laser scanner surveys in reverse engineering. After cloud data processing, use the software Pro/E contracture the ventilator surface, and the ventilator full-scale mockup has been obtained. Simultaneously, the mould design has been carried on and the rapid prototype is manufactured in rapid prototyping machine to that ventilator blade. The obtained ventilator blade rapid prototype could have provided the macroscopic model and product development basis for new product development in pre-appraisal and the finite element analysis, and so on.
