Systems, methods and apparatus for sharing tool fabrication and design data

A computer-implemented method of determining information related to a working surface using a rig, the rig having a base and an adapter for holding a working member, the method comprising:

• obtaining first data related to at least a portion of the working surface using at least a first sensor of one or more sensors, wherein the first sensor is positioned at a first set of one or more locations to obtain the first data;
• with a portion of the base resting on the working surface, providing an instruction that causes an actuator to extend the working member beyond the base and off an edge of the working surface, wherein the actuator is configured to move the adapter in a direction orthogonal to the working surface;
• with the working member in contact with the edge of the working surface, obtaining second data related to at least a portion of the working surface using the first sensor, wherein the first sensor is positioned at a second set of one or more locations to obtain the second data and the second set of one or more locations is different from the first set of one or more locations;
• determining at least one position of a component based at least in part upon the first data and second data, wherein the at least one position of the component relates to position of the working member;
• and
• determining a location of the edge of the working surface based at least in part upon the at least one position of the component.

One or more non-transitory computer readable media storing instructions for determining information related to a working surface using a rig, the rig having a base and an adapter for holding a working member, wherein the instructions, when executed by one or more computing devices, cause at least one of the one or more computing devices to:

• obtain first data related to at least a portion of the working surface using at least a first sensor of one or more sensors, wherein the first sensor is positioned at a first set of one or more locations to obtain the first data;
• with a portion of the base resting on the working surface, provide an instruction that causes the actuator to extend the working member beyond the base and off an edge of the working surface;
• with the working member in contact with the edge of the working surface, obtain second data related to at least a portion of the working surface using the first sensor, wherein the first sensor is positioned at a second set of one or more locations to obtain the second data and the second set of one or more locations is different from the first set of one or more locations;
• determine at least one position of a component based at least in part upon the first data and second data, wherein the at least one position of the component relates to position of the working member;
• and
• determine a location of the edge of the working surface based at least in part upon the at least one position of the component.
