1. A laser projection system for use in manufacturing, the system comprising: a computer design application configured to generate a design file having attribute data associated with a structure to be manufactured using fasteners, the structure comprising a collection of one or more parts; a file formatting subsystem configured to extract the attribute data from the design file to generate an output file, wherein the output file includes: geometric data used to project a laser image representing at least one of the fasteners, wherein the geometric data is based on the design files, and wherein the laser image is projected into three-dimensional space; and non-geometric data associated with at least one of the fasteners, wherein the non-geometric data is based on the design files; and an interface component configured to display the non-geometric data associated with the structure to be manufactured and for controlling the laser projection of the laser image.
