A method and apparatus for machining a part for an assembly (100, 202, 400). First sensor data (226) is acquired for a surface (203, 506) of a first part (101, 204) from a first sensor system (222). Second sensor data (228) is acquired for a set of existing holes (232) in a second part (102, 206) from a second sensor system (224). A surface model (238) of the surface of the first part (101, 204) is generated using the first sensor data (226). First offset data (240) is computed based on a nominal model (242) of a third part (104, 208) that is nominally positioned relative to the surface model (238) within a three-dimensional virtual environment (245). Second offset data (241) is computed (708) for the set of existing holes (232) using the second sensor data (228). Overall offset data (246) is generated (710) using the first and second offset data (241), wherein the overall offset data (246) is used to drill a set of holes (214) in the third part (104, 208) for use in fastening the third part (104, 208) to the second part (102, 206).
