Abstract:
1. A method for applying an atomized coating to a section of a part, said method comprising: placing the part on a part support; initially measuring a dimension of the section of the part to be coated; calculating an initial amount of atomized coating to be applied to the section of the part based on the initial measurement and a desired dimension of the section of the part; applying the initial amount of atomized coating to the part; further measuring the dimension of the section of the part having the applied initial amount of atomized coating by projecting a laser beam at the section of the part and calculating the dimension of the section of the part based on portions of the laser beam not blocked by the part; calculating a further amount of atomized coating to be applied to the section of the part based on said further measurement and the desired dimension of the section of the part; applying the further amount of atomized coating to the section of the part; and removing the part from the part support.
