Abstract: A method for modeling a refurbishing geometry of a component comprises removing a portion to be refurbished from the component, thereby obtaining a truncated component, with a cut surface and a boundary line of the cut surface. Image data of the truncated component are obtained and a representation of the image data is imported into a CAD system. A CAD model of the component, for instance in an unused and nominal new condition, is provided and aligning with the imported representation of the truncated component. Points are defined on the surface of the CAD model and arranged on rows. For each row, a point on the representation of the boundary line of the cut surface closest to the row is determined, and the points in each row are displaced in a translational displacement until the row intersects the representation of the boundary line, thereby obtaining a morphed CAD model representative of the refurbishing geometry of the component.
