1. A system for processing a flexible part, comprising:
a holder configured to hold the flexible part securely in a secured unconstrained processing position;
an end effector configured to process the flexible part when held by the holder in the secured unconstrained processing position;
at least one positioner configured to support the holder or the end effector for movement;
a storage device storing specifications of the flexible part not in the secured unconstrained processing position stored on a computer readable medium of the storage device; and
a controller configured to access the storage device to obtain information of the flexible part in a shape that is different than the secured unconstrained processing position, and to control the positioner to process the flexible part while in the secured unconstrained processing position by comparing a difference in shape due to a flexibility of the flexible part in the secured unconstrained processing position with a shape of the flexible part not in the secured unconstrained processing position when the flexible part has a different shape.
