Abstract
A calibration block may include an engagement surface having a selected vertical extent along a vertical axis and a selected horizontal extent along a horizontal axis. The block may include a block depth trajectory comprising a variable depth of the block along the vertical axis, the depth of the block at each position along the vertical axis comprising an effective distance between the engagement surface and an opposing surface. The block may include an end face defining at least one vertical feature hole, where the at least one vertical feature hole comprises a plurality of vertical feature holes. Each one of the plurality of vertical feature holes may comprise an angular offset orientation with a vertical axis of the block, where the angular offset orientation comprises an angle between zero degrees and 45 degrees, inclusive. The block may include a side face defining at least one horizontal feature hole.
