It's a bit different than programming to take off material overall to a certain depth.

Very good points here.
What might work as a v1.0 is the operator can determine a depth of material removal overall. That in itself would be a big help. For example, if there are 5 pits and a deep scratch, the deepest pit is 1 mm and the scratch is .05mm deep with .2mm deep pits here and there, having the entire piece sanded down .5mm would be very helpful.
In my thinking, the laser is used for:
Determining the entire scope and shape of the piece
Determining depth of flaws to be removed by sanding
That latter may be a fixed amount (operator controlled) based on the initial entire piece scan.
