SYSTEM AND PROCESS FOR SELECTIVELY AND LOCALLY TREATING THE SURFACE OF PARTS, ESPECIALLY VIA DEPOSITION OF MATERIAL - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240033995 titled 'SYSTEM AND PROCESS FOR SELECTIVELY AND LOCALLY TREATING THE SURFACE OF PARTS, ESPECIALLY VIA DEPOSITION OF MATERIAL
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a process for selectively and locally treating the surface of a part. Here is a simplified explanation of the abstract:
- A part with a surface to be treated is provided. - Three-dimensional profilometric data is acquired from the surface to obtain a set of three-dimensional data. - The set of data is digitally processed to subtract curves and obtain reprocessed three-dimensional data. - The reprocessed data is further processed digitally to obtain binary data on the surface, assigning a first or second binary value to each point based on height criteria. - The surface is selectively and locally treated using the binary data, treating only points with specific binary values.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Surface treatment of parts in manufacturing processes. - Precision machining or finishing of complex surfaces. - Surface modification for improved functionality or aesthetics.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Enables targeted treatment of specific areas on a part's surface. - Provides a digital and automated process for surface treatment. - Allows for precise control and customization of surface treatment.
Benefits of this technology:
- Increases efficiency and accuracy in surface treatment processes. - Reduces material waste by selectively treating only necessary areas. - Enables complex surface modifications that are difficult to achieve manually.
Original Abstract Submitted
process for selectively and locally treating the surface of a part, wherein—a part having a surface to be treated is provided, said surface being defined by a direction p and a direction q; —three-dimensional profilometric data are acquired from the surface to be treated, in order to obtain a set f of three-dimensional data on the surface to be treated, said set f associating a height with each point in the plane pq; —this set f of digital data is processed digitally with a view to subtracting said curves, to obtain a set f of reprocessed three-dimensional data; —this set f of data is processed digitally, to obtain a set f of binary data on the surface to be treated, said digital processing attributing, to each point on the surface, a first binary value or a second binary value, depending on at least one criterion related to the height of the point on the surface; —the surface is selectively and locally treated using said set f of binary data, said surface treatment being performed only at points on the surface the binary datum of which has said first or said second binary value.
