Abstract
A system for fabricating a double-contoured shim includes a model generator and a manufacturing system. The model generator generates a shim model to fill a gap between a first mating-surface and a second mating-surface. The model generator generates a virtual plane that divides the shim model into a first shim model and a second shim model. A first shim is fabricated based on the first shim model. The first shim includes a first contoured shim-surface that is complementary to a first mating-surface area of the first mating-surface and a first planar shim-surface that is opposite the first contoured shim-surface. A second shim is fabricated based on the second shim model. The second shim includes a second contoured shim-surface that is complementary to a second mating-surface area of the second mating-surface and a second planar shim-surface that is opposite the second contoured shim-surface.
