Abstract

A system () for processing a workpiece includes a support surface () for supporting a workpiece (). The system () includes a processing tool () movable with respect to a processing path. The system () includes a sensor carriage () movable along a scan axis and having a light source () located to emit a light beam at an angle to the scan axis onto a target surface of a workpiece (), and a camera () configured to record location data of the light beam on a target surface of a workpiece () as the sensor carriage () moves along the scan axis. The system () includes a control system for generating a three-dimensional point representation of a workpiece surface from the light beam location data, to control movement of the processing tool () based on the three-dimensional point representation of a workpiece ().
