==ADAPTIVE OVERHAUL USING CT SCAN SINGLE DATA SET - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240269748 titled 'ADAPTIVE OVERHAUL USING CT SCAN SINGLE DATA SET

The abstract of the patent application describes a method for overhauling a component using computed tomography scanning, additive manufacturing, and machining techniques.

* Scanning the component using computed tomography to obtain detailed scanned data.
* Comparing the scanned data to reference data to generate additive manufacturing data.
* Depositing material on the component using an additive manufacturing device to create a new object.
* Predicting the characteristics of the new object based on the additive manufacturing data and scanned data.
* Comparing the predicted characteristics to reference data to generate machining data.
* Machining the new object based on the machining data.
