Abstract
There is described a system and method for detecting a geometry of a workpiece for the purposes of processing the workpiece. In order to simplify optimization of a manufacturing strategy for processing a workpiece, the system has at least one camera for producing at least one image of the workpiece before a processing step, a memory area for desired geometry values the workpiece should have after the processing step, determination means for determining workpiece geometry values the workpiece has before the processing step on the basis of the at least one image, and calculating means for calculating differential geometry values describing a difference between the workpiece geometry values and the desired geometry values.
