Computing device and method for outputting programs of a workpiece

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a set of instructions, when executed by at least one processor of a computing device, cause the at least one processor to perform a method for outputting programs of a workpiece placed on a scanner device, the method comprising:

• receiving, from a scanner device, three-dimensional (3D) point cloud data of the workpiece;
• meshing the received 3D point cloud data into a plurality of triangles;
• obtaining a 3D model of the workpiece;
• selecting a measurement point on the 3D model and calculating coordinates of the measurement point on the 3D model;
• creating a measurement element according to the calculated coordinates of the measurement point and a preselected element type;
• displaying a preset virtual probe on a display screen of the computing device, and rotating the preset virtual probe according to a normal vector of the created measurement element;
• controlling the preset virtual probe to move towards the created measurement element;
• and
• providing an output of the created measurement element, the output comprising feature information of the created measurement element and a movement path of the preset virtual probe.

A computing device being connected to a scanner device, the computing device comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• a storage device storing one or more programs, which are executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to:
• receive three-dimensional (3D) point cloud data of the workpiece from the scanner device;
• mesh the received 3D point cloud data into a plurality of triangles, and obtaining a 3D model of the workpiece;
• select a measurement point on the 3D model, and calculating coordinates of the measurement point on the 3D model;
• create a measurement element according to the calculated coordinates of the measurement point and a preselected element type;
• display a preset virtual probe on a display screen of the computing device, and rotating the preset virtual probe according to a normal vector of the created measurement element;
• control the preset virtual probe to move towards the created measurement element;
• and
• output programs of the created measurement element comprising feature information of the created measurement element and a movement path of the preset virtual probe.
