A computing system may include a data access engine and a toolpath adjustment engine. The data access engine may be configured to access a computer-aided design (CAD) model of a part design and a computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) setup for the part design. The CAM setup may include a nominal toolpath specified through the CAD model for performing a finishing operation for the part design. The data access engine may also be configured to obtain 3-dimensional (3D) scan data for a physical part manufactured from the part design. The toolpath adjustment engine may be configured to extract, from the 3D scan data, a manufactured geometry of the physical part manufactured from the part design and generate an adjusted toolpath for the physical part to account for the manufactured geometry extracted from the 3D scan data.

A turning method includes driving a first movement apparatus to locate a cutting edge of a turning tool at a first radial position; driving a second movement apparatus to move the turning tool in an axial direction to perform first turning with the cutting edge at the first radial position; driving the second movement apparatus to move the turning tool away from a workpiece in the axial direction after performing the first turning; calculating an error between the processed dimension and a target dimension; driving a third movement apparatus, which is configured to move the turning tool relative to the first movement apparatus in a radial direction, to locate the cutting edge of the turning tool at a second radial position to correct the error; and driving the second movement apparatus to move the turning tool in the axial direction to perform second turning at the second radial position.

Various embodiments of power tool and method of operating same are described. The power tool may include a first position sensor, a second position sensor, a third position sensor, and a controller. The first, second, and third position sensors may each generate a signal indicative of a distance between the respective position sensor and a workpiece. The controller may determine one or more angles of the power tool with respect to the workpiece based on the first, second, and third signal and present an indication as to whether the one or more angles are within a predetermined range. The controller may further obtain a depth measurement based on the first signal, the second signal, and the third signal and generate, based on the obtained depth measurement, one or more control signals that control operation of the power tool.
