Abstract During manufacturing, porcelain whiteware changes its shape due to the sintering process. For this reason, leader companies in the field of ceramics apply strict controls on final products in order to reach high quality standards. Typically, three quality parameters are considered: drop of the bottom, bending of the rim and roundness. To date, the assessment of such parameters is still based on visual inspections and manual measurements. In the present paper, authors propose a new quality assessment procedure based on reverse engineering (RE), able to measure the most relevant quality parameters in an effective, reliable and repeatable way.
