Abstract
A computing system may include a data access engine and a toolpath adjustment engine. The data access engine may be configured to access a computer-aided design (CAD) model of a part design and a computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) setup for the part design. The CAM setup may include a nominal toolpath specified through the CAD model for performing a finishing operation for the part design. The data access engine may also be configured to obtain 3-dimensional (3D) scan data for a physical part manufactured from the part design. The toolpath adjustment engine may be configured to extract, from the 3D scan data, a manufactured geometry of the physical part manufactured from the part design and generate an adjusted toolpath for the physical part to account for the manufactured geometry extracted from the 3D scan data.
