Abstract
A computer-implemented method for additive manufacturing can include receiving, by one or more computing devices, three-dimensional model data, and receiving, by the one or more computing devices, one or more inducing variables. The one or more inducing variables can include at least one of a recoater direction, recoater force, gas flow direction, and/or gas flow rate. The computer-implemented method can also comprise creating a print file as a function of the one or more inducing variables to account for the inducing variables to produce a uniform part throughout a build area or otherwise reduce part variability and outputting the print file to a printer or a data storage device.
