Abstract
Methods, systems and devices for assembling components to form an assembled structure, using virtual or augmented assembly tooling, in real time, real-time virtual assembly tooling (or RVAT). Structures such as vehicles, aircrafts, or other products are produced from assembling a plurality of component parts together, with virtual assembly tooling of the system, method and devices that provides real-time capability for directing and guiding operations and for generating feedback. The structure is built from the CAD, transforming the CAD to imaging representations whose transformations are generated with one or more component scans, projected on a display. The method, system and devices are constructed to build a product from a CAD through transformations of CAD information in conjunction with the real-time imaging and tracking of assembly components and tooling precise positioning of components, and controlling assembly operations, such as, for example, assembly, drilling, riveting, bonding, and welding, a product is constructed.
