This
part was originally produced in 1976. The die cavities
were worn. The EDM
electrodes had
been machined using a pantograph, but the shop's pantograph
had been
sold
many years
ago.
There was no CAD data, just the original drawing.
Multiple 3D scans and contour scans of the forged part
were conducted.
The CAD model
was
built
from the scan data and referencing the original drawing.
