1. A method for identifying flaws in a part being inspected, comprising: generating a 3-d representation of the part, the 3-d representation comprising 3-d spatial coordinates corresponding to different locations on the part; registering the 3-d spatial coordinates with corresponding locations of a part being inspected; generating an image of the part being inspected; identifying a flaw in the part being inspected from the generated image; correlating a location of the flaw to a corresponding 3-d spatial coordinate; controlling a device to perform an operation on the part being inspected at the flaw location using information of the corresponding 3-d spatial coordinate.
