In yesterday's edition of Machine Design Today, we debuted the first installment of our four-part series on designing a golf putter using CAD/CAM tools. This series leverages the expertise of Robert Dusenbury, technical applications director of CAD/CAM Consulting Services, Inc. (CCCS).
In Part 2, Dusenbury explains how an infrared laser scanner can be used to scan a golf putter before it is reverse engineered for an additive prototype. He also describes how the CCCS shop’s reverse-engineering software began building a 3D model of the part even before the scanning process was completed.
