Once the terrain is digitized - the XY is known Lat/Lon, Z is displacement - a laser or other energy device, could be precisely calculated to operate in the "sweet spot" where the beam is perfectly focused for maximum energy transfer.
ALL lasers and energy devices are most effective near the center of their operating range. Lenses and beam shaping alter what is referred to as the "sweet spot" where the device is effectively operating in it's most efficient displacement range.
No different from an industrial laser, a "cut plan" could easily be calculated on a home PC, or even a phone. I do that on a daily basis...albeit on a smaller scale.
Correct.
