Removal of material from a surface of a dual walled component

A system comprising:

• at least one sensor;
• at least one machining device;
• and
• a computing device operable to:
• control the at least one sensor to inspect at least a portion of a coversheet of a dual walled component to generate dimensional surface data for the at least the portion of the coversheet;
• compare the dimensional surface data to surface model data, wherein the comparison indicates portions of the coversheet that include additional material, wherein the additional material comprises material from a compliant layer that contacted the coversheet during a process of joining the coversheet of the dual walled component to a spar of the dual walled component;
• generate a compromise surface model based on the comparison between the dimensional surface data and the surface model data;
• and
• control the at least one machining device to machine the dual walled component based on the compromise surface model to remove the additional material.

A computer readable storage medium comprising instructions that, when executed, cause at least one processor to:

• control at least one sensor to inspect at least the portion of a coversheet of a dual walled component to generate dimensional surface data for the at least the portion of the coversheet;
• compare the dimensional surface data to surface model data, wherein the comparison indicates portions of the coversheet that include additional material, wherein the additional material comprises material from a compliant layer that contacted the coversheet during a process of joining the coversheet of the dual walled component to a spar of the dual walled component;
• generate a compromise surface model based on the comparison between the dimensional surface data and the surface model data;
• and
• control at least one machining device to machine the dual walled component based on the compromise surface model to remove the additional material.
