| Abstract | The paper presents an alternative to CNC machining, based on a proposed method for creating very large and precise replicas of prototype shapes using material-removal and/or material-adding mechanisms that need not be calibrated. The method is based upon the creation of a “virtual mold”, which is created in the two-dimensional image planes of two or more stationary, uncalibrated cameras. The cameras are placed so as to view portions of the prototype surface and remain stationary while multiple-beam laser pointers cast their light toward the prototype shape and the resulting laser-spot reflections are registered and matched among the cameras. Large numbers of images can be acquired with slightly offset pan and tilt angles of laser-pointer-bearing units, resulting in collected laser-spot-centroid indications that may number in the thousands. The spot-centroid coordinates in camera space are matched in such a way that individual, physical spot-centroid indications are registered in memory in accordance with correspondence among those cameras able to view any one particular spot. This forms the basis of the “virtual mold”. Subsequent reproduction of the shape, as with a CNC machine, relies upon action of a robot to remove material from a blank. This blank is placed so as to occupy the region where the prototype had been during laser spot casting. Camera-space manipulation is used to guide the robot in consecutive passes of material removal, with laser spots cast upon each newly revealed intermediate surface and reflected up into the original cameras. The paper presents the use of a FANUC M16-iB industrial robot, in order to obtain experimental evidence on how the original surface regions can be replicated with extremely high precision despite no need for calibration either of the cameras or the manipulator. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
