Abstract
A method of aligning scans of a workpiece is disclosed, including coupling a set of reflective boundary targets along an edge of a workpiece having first and second opposing facial surfaces. The boundary targets are detectable by a surface scanning device when scanning the first facial surface and when scanning the second facial surface of the workpiece. The method further includes scanning the first facial surface of the workpiece, generating a first data set and scanning the second facial surface of the workpiece, generating a second data set. The first and second data sets each include spatial points corresponding to locations of the reflective boundary targets. The method further includes aligning the spatial points of the first data set with the spatial points of the second data set.
