A system and method for refurbishing structures is provided. The system includes a structure assembly comprising a holding fixture and a structure needing to be repair, an imaging device, and an image projection apparatus, where the imaging device and the image projection apparatus are electrically coupled to a central processing unit. The imaging device may include one or more digital cameras positioned at various locations about the structure assembly to capture images of the structure along various lines of sight. The captured image are transmitted to the CPU and stored as data and a three-dimensional (3D) surface model of the structure is generated by a 3D computer-aided design (CAD) software system executed by the CPU. The image projection apparatus may include one or more image projectors (e.g., video projectors) positioned at various locations about the structure assembly that project instructions about how to disassemble and re-assemble the structure onto the outer surface of the structure.
