Displaying Product Manufacturing Information in Augmented Reality for Inspection

Abstract

Model-based definition and augmented reality are two emerging technologies, which enable a faster product development cycle and better dimensional control. They are an enabler of industry 4.0, and a better way to transfer the data to the user. Although each of the technologies is well researched, their combination presents a challenge from a research perspective. Model-based definition enables the product manufacturing data to be used in downstream processes, which include quality control and inspection. We developed and presented a method that enables the transfer of product manufacturing information from a 3D model and displays the graphical presentation to the user in augmented reality. The presented data is expected to aid the user with performing quality control more effectively, which needs to be tested.
