Abstract:
In an embodiment, a method of automatically generating an inspection program includes receiving input data related to an object to be inspected. The input data includes geometric dimensioning and tolerancing data for the object. The method also includes, for each of a plurality of surfaces of the object, generating at least one inspection direction and a plurality of inspection points based, at least in part, on the geometric dimensioning and tolerancing data. The method also includes generating transitional motions for an inspection machine to inspect the plurality of surfaces according to the inspection directions and the inspection points. The method also includes storing, at a destination, machine-readable code for inspecting the object according to the at least one inspection direction of each of the plurality of surfaces, the inspection points of each of the plurality of surfaces, and the transitional motions.
