  • Patent number: 11150633
    Abstract: A method for providing a 3D shape model for a new process in an additive manufacturing system includes receiving an unoptimized 3D model of one or more shapes based on a first process (P1); receiving deviation information based on P1; baseline deviation modeling of P1 based on the received unoptimized 3D model and the received deviation information to thereby generate an optimized 3D model for the one or more shapes based on P1; applying a transfer function that connects deviation information of P1 to deviation information of a second process (P2); receiving deviation information based on P2; adaptively modeling the deviations of P2 based on the transformed baseline model and the deviation information of P2; generating an optimized 3D model for the one or more shapes based on P2; and generating a compensation plan for additively manufacturing the one or more shapes between P1 and P2.
