Abstract: A method includes attaching a 3D projector to a stand, the 3D projector having a projecting mechanism and a gimbal mechanism; determining a six degree-of-freedom pose of the 3D projector based at least in part on steering at least one of the projecting mechanism and the gimbal mechanism to place the beam of light on each of a plurality of anchor targets in each of a first instance and a second instance, each anchor target having an anchor point with 3D coordinates known in a CAD model, each projection angle and gimbal angle to each of the plurality of anchor targets being different in first instance and the second instance.
