Abstract
Systems and methods for designing and generating a device using accuracy maps and stability analysis are disclosed herein. In some aspects, the systems and methods described relate to an apparatus for designing a device. The apparatus includes a processor configured to generate a three-dimensional model of a physical object and determine whether the three-dimensional model satisfies an accuracy threshold based on an accuracy map. The processor is further configured generate a simulated representation of the device, determine whether the simulated representation of the device satisfies a stability threshold, simulate a fit of the device on the three-dimensional model if the simulated representation of the device satisfies the stability threshold, and determine whether the simulated fit of the device on the three-dimensional model is within a tolerance threshold. The processor is further configured to generate an approved design of the device if the simulated fit is within the tolerance threshold.
