Abstract: A system, method, and device for automated precision control of a computer numerical control (CNC) machine to a workpiece. The system receives via at least one visual input device at least one detectable marking on a workpiece. The system decodes the at least one detectable marking and determines a stored and pre-defined movement routine of a cutting element attached to the CNC machine relative to the workpiece based on the at least one marking. The system then determines, using the at least one visual input device and/or another visual input device, a current position of a working end of the cutting element relative to the at least one marking. Finally, the system performs the pre-defined movement routine including cutting into the workpiece with the cutting element.

Abstract: Cutting a workpiece using a cutting tool associated with a system, whereby the system includes a guide having a first glyph and second glyph. The first and second glyphs are both visible on a single side of the guide. The guide is associated with a specific three-dimensional model of a plurality of three-dimensional models. The system further includes an input mechanism, configured to receive a location of the first glyph and of the second glyph, relative to the cutting tool. The system further includes a control system, functionally associated with the input mechanism and with the cutting tool. The control system is configured to direct the cutting tool to cut a version of the specific three-dimensional model into the workpiece at a location, such as at least partially between the locations of the first glyph and the second glyph, which locations were received by said input mechanism.

Abstract: A removable pipe insulation system comprising one or more components, each component comprising insulation in a waterproof covering with at least one opening for air to exit the covering during use. The insulation in the covering may be surrounded by an inside skin with a plurality of holes formed through hot micro perforation. The inside skin may be surrounded by an outside cover, which may be edged in elastic binding and which may attach to itself by hook and loop fastener. The component may be wrapped around a pipe element and secured to provide insulation to the pipe element while protecting the insulation from moisture and protecting the pipe element from corrosion under insulation.
