Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method for verifying geometries of airfoils, comprising: providing a part having an airfoil having an intended positional geometry and an intended feature geometry; measuring a first set of points of a primary datum system; determining an actual positional geometry of said airfoil based on said primary datum system measurements; calculating a first deviation between said intended positional geometry and said actual positional geometry of said airfoil; measuring a plurality of sets of points of at least one secondary datum system; determining an actual feature geometry of said airfoil based on said at least one secondary datum system measurements; calculating a second deviation between said intended feature geometry and said actual feature geometry of said airfoil; and performing a verification of said intended positional geometry and said intended feature geometry of said airfoil based upon said first deviation and said second deviation.
