Patent attributes
Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide a method for optimizing process parameters for additive manufacturing, including: determining a change to at least one process parameter of a plurality of process parameters while additively manufacturing a first part using an additive manufacturing apparatus according to a build file comprising machine code defining the plurality of process parameters; modifying the build file based on the determined change to the at least one process parameter to generate a modified build file; additively manufacturing a second part using the additive manufacturing apparatus according to the modified build file, wherein: additively manufacturing the first part is performed in a closed-loop control mode, and additively manufacturing the second part is performed in an open-loop control mode.
