Claim 12:
13. The method of claim 10:
further comprising:
retrieving a minimum material removal depth for the part and a maximum toolpath execution duration;

wherein defining the target sanding force, in the set of target sanding forces, for each region, in the set of regions, comprises, for each region:
assigning a target translation speed, in a set of target translation speeds, to the region, the target translation speed inversely proportional to the maximum toolpath execution duration; and
assigning the target sanding force, in the set of target sanding forces, to the region, the target sanding force:
proportional to the contact area between the sanding head and the part proximal the region;
inversely proportional to a grit specification of the sanding pad;
proportional to the minimum material removal depth; and
proportional to the target translation speed; and

wherein traversing the sanding head along the toolpath comprises:
identifying a first region of the toolpath, the first region containing the sanding head;
identifying a first target translation speed, in the set of target translation speeds, assigned to the first region; and
traversing the sanding head along the first region of the toolpath according to the first target translation speed.
