CNC Surface Mapping for Precise 3D Object Machining

The patent segments the measurement and machining processes by introducing separate functional modules: a detector module for capturing spatial locations of measuring points, a processor module for establishing mapping relationships, and a machining module for executing operations. This segmentation enables precise measurement of complex three-dimensional objects while maintaining manageable system complexity through modular architecture.

The patent introduces mapping relationships as an intermediary between measurement data and machining operations. The processor establishes mapping relationships between measuring points and their corresponding spatial locations, serving as a mediator that translates detector measurements into actionable machining information, thereby improving measurement precision without directly increasing machining device complexity.

The patent performs preliminary action by pre-establishing mapping relationships between measuring points and spatial locations before the actual machining operation. The processor creates these mapping relationships in advance based on detector measurements, allowing the machining module to execute operations with reduced real-time computational requirements, thereby maintaining manufacturing precision while reducing computational energy consumption during machining.

The patent creates a digital copy or representation of the object's surface geometry through the mapping relationships between measuring points and spatial locations. This digital model serves as a virtual replica that can be processed computationally without requiring intensive real-time calculations during actual machining, thus reducing computational load while preserving manufacturing precision.

The patent implements universality by designing the detector and light source as multi-functional components that serve both measurement and positioning functions. The detector not only captures spatial locations but also works in conjunction with the light source to illuminate and highlight features on the workpiece surface, enabling multiple functions from added components and reducing the need for separate dedicated devices, thereby limiting the increase in overall device complexity.

The patent merges the detector, light source, and processing functions into an integrated system where these components work together as a unified measurement and control unit. By combining these functions rather than adding them as separate independent systems, the patent improves measurement precision while minimizing the increase in device complexity through functional integration.
