This paper presents an advanced CAI model for inspection planning of prismatic parts on CMM. The model consists from mathematical model, modeling inspection features, sampling strategy, analysis of the probe accessibility, collision-free generation, and optimization of the path using ant’s colony and simulation of the path. Needed geometrical information for path planning are taken from IGES and STL file, and input data about tolerance entries from already developed knowledge base. The presented model is an advanced approach oriented towards definition of the intelligent inspection system. Advantage of the model is in reduction the total measurement time by reducing the time needed for the planning of the measurements due to automated generation of certain activities.
