Abstract
A system and method for annotating defects in a part to be inspected includes a plurality of defect annotations for the part where each of the defect annotations has a type and a severity, and a Computer Aided Design (CAD) model of the part stored on a nonvolatile memory where the CAD model includes of a plurality of geometrical features where each of the geometrical features is optionally associated with one or more of the plurality of defect annotations.
Claims20
A system for annotating defects in a part to be inspected comprising:
- a plurality of defect annotations for the part where each of the defect annotations has a type and a severity;
- and
- a Computer Aided Design (CAD) model of the part stored on a nonvolatile memory where the CAD model comprises of a plurality of geometrical features where each of the geometrical features is optionally associated with one or more of the plurality of defect annotations.
A method of learning for a system for annotating defects in a part comprising the steps of:
- analyzing engineering data, inspection defect data, repair data (times associated with particular defect types and specific part locations of the defect) for the part;
- and
- displaying “optimum” engineering parameters for manufacturing the part.
