For several years, the reconstruction of Computer Aided Design (CAD) models from a deformed mesh get more and more attention. This CAD model is used in order to visualize 3D objects that were scanned and approximate their shapes by mathematical formulations. It represents the geometric support used in many other activities (analysis, manufacturing, assembly, etc.). Surface reconstruction is the most difficult problem of CAD model reconstruction. There are two types of surfaces: primitive surfaces and complex surfaces. In this paper, we propose a method to reconstruct complex surfaces. Our algorithm is based on Thin Plate Spline (TPS) method to optimize locations of control points of a B-Spline surface. Once surfaces are approximated, the geometric model can be reconstructed. We evaluate every step of our approach using mechanical models and show that we can achieve good results and meaningful approximated control points comparing with other methods
