Automated process planning for quality control inspection
TL;DR: In this article, a computer is used for generating a part inspection plan for a coordinate measuring machine (CMM), in a feature-based rapid design system (RDS), having a Feature-Based Design Environment (FBDE), an Episodal Associative Memory (EAM), Fabrication Planning (FAB), and an Inspection Plan (INSP), with features which include form features (D1) which define the form or shape of the part, manufacturing features(D2), inspection features (d3), and geometric and design (GD&T) features

Automated three-dimensional precision coatings application apparatus
Albert L. Harlow,Richard E. Bechtold,David A. Parker,Francis L. Merat,Mark E. Podany,Raymond C. Laning +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the 3D object areas of the surface are defined for color and boundaries, and various parameters for applying coatings for each point in each path are also defined including spray pattern, amount of coatings to be applied, speed of application along the path, among others.

Automated three-dimensional precision effector method
Albert L. Harlow,Richard E. Bechtold,David A. Parker,Francis L. Merat,Mark E. Podany,Raymond C. Laning +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a surface of a 3D object is automatically and stored in a memory, and various parameters for applying coatings for each point in each path are also defined including spray pattern, amount of coatings to be applied, speed of application along the path, among others.
