Abstract
A method including creating an additive manufactured part layer by layer with an additive manufacturing device, determining, with a processor, at least one of a speed and a rate at which the additive manufacturing device at least one of lifts, delays, and lowers the part with respect to a build plate after an additive layer has been added to the part based on sizing information about the part being built at least one of real-time during the build process and prior to beginning the build process, and operating the additive manufacturing device at one of the speed and the rate during a build process of the part to create the part. Another method is also included.
