Abstract
A method for modeling a physical component is provided, the method comprising scanning the component to generate a point cloud, generating definitions of surfaces of the component from the point cloud, identifying vertices of edges at which the surfaces of the component meet, and converting the point cloud to a corresponding parameterized digital model of the component. In some example implementations, generating the definitions for a surface comprises: selecting data points of the point cloud that are within a determined spatial range from a frame of reference, identifying a planar surface formed by those data points that conform to a collinear pattern within the determined spatial range from the frame of reference or a cylindrical surface formed by those of the plurality of data points that do not conform to a collinear pattern and generating the definition of the surface from the planar or cylindrical surface as identified.
