A system for laser peening a workpiece. The system comprises a world coordinate frame, a robot operatively connected to the world coordinate frame for moving the workpiece relative, a calibration tool operatively connected to the robot for determining a multiplicity of data points of the workpiece, a computer for storing and using the multiplicity of data points of the workpiece, and a laser system for laser peening the workpiece using the multiplicity of data points.

Abstract:
A mesoscale calibration artifact, also called a hybrid artifact, suitable for hybrid dimensional measurement and the method for make the artifact. The hybrid artifact has structural characteristics that make it suitable for dimensional measurement in both vision-based systems and touch-probe-based systems. The hybrid artifact employs the intersection of bulk-micromachined planes to fabricate edges that are sharp to the nanometer level and intersecting planes with crystal-lattice-defined angles.
