Actually not that straight forward.
The reference model and the piece that needs work would need to be 100% identical, no variations.
At that point you might as well scrap the idea of the reference model all together and scan every work piece.
But the time and effort for that would most likely not offset the savings of hand working the piece.
There are plenty of existing robots that can be programmed for finish work.
But they don't really care where they are starting from and are working to a known consistent end product.
It seems your starting point is critical to getting the correct end product and since it's variable it's tricky.
