Abstract

In the process of modern mechanical product design, retrieval and reuse of the pre-existed 3D CAD models would greatly save time and cost. Mechanical models, as artificial models, are mainly composed of regular surfaces, and the function of the models is to constrain mechanical movements. The purpose of retrieval is to reuse the functions of models designed by predecessors. To mine the functions contained in mechanical models, this paper proposes an original function dimension (FD)-based engineering shape matching method. Firstly, the function vector of each face making up the model is defined according to its use, machining or assembly method. Then the vectors are grouped to form the FDs of the model by using parallel relation which describes the function dimension of the model. The similarity between CAD models can be obtained by weighting the similarity between the matched FDs using area and angle. Based on FDs, the performance of model retrieval can be improved to facility functional reuse from geometric similarity. We validate the FD-based 3D model retrieval method using the popular ESB database and one novel multi-modal dataset. Extensive experiments show the superiority of the proposed method through comparisons. It has better retrieval accuracy and higher efficiency (3 × 109 models/second). Moreover, to the best of our knowledge, the novel engineering 3D object dataset that we contribute is closest to real engineering models presently.
