Probably not with a laser, but a scanner and some software could do some of that fairly easily. Centering and size for sure, corners would be a bit more challenging. Edge quality more challenging, and picking up finer elements of the surfaces might be really tough.
As much as we complain about them, a bit of training maybe a week or so can get a motivated 20 something about 90% of the way there. And they're almost always going to be faster than the machine. Business wise that's an ok tradeoff compared to development costs plus a slower machine.
Changing the overall business model away from rushing things would be a much bigger improvement.
