Robotic surface finishing methods are being developed for use in the aerospace industry. The application goals include wind tunnel model and other complex part surface finishing. Removal of scallops left from milling, shaping, and polishing typically done by artisans is expensive and error prone. Automatically generated tool trajectories drastically reduce robot path programming efforts. A wide variety of parts may be processed and new parts may be processed with little or no additional programming effort, making this method particularly well-suited to the high mix aerospace manufacturing environment.
