ABSTRACT:
An apparatus10and a method50for the creation of a tool40. The apparatus10and the method50allow for dynamic measurement of the tool40as it is being created and further allows for the use of positive feedback to increase the likelihood that the produced tool will be structurally similar to a certain model. The apparatus10and method50further allow sections of varying thicknesses to be used and provide a technique to create surfaces which further increase the likelihood that the produced tool will be structurally equivalent to a desired and modeled tool.
