Research on Reverse Modeling and 3D Printing of Engine Impeller
In order to produce high-precision impeller efficiently,the laser scanner is used to scan the original impeller of engine,the point cloud data is processed,and the model is reconstructed by using the reverse modeling software Geomagic Design X,comparing the reconstructed data with the original,and then 3D printing is used,it is concluded that the impeller model with high precision can be obtained by reverse modeling,and the impeller model can be printed quickly and efficiently by 3D print-ing.Thus,it provides a new method to solve the problems of difficult machining and complex working procedure of impeller,and it also provides convenience for shortening the production cycle of the product.
