A method includes scanning a component using structured light to provide first scanned data, comparing the first scanned data to reference data to provide additive manufacturing data, depositing material on the component using an additive manufacturing device based upon the additive manufacturing data to provide a first object. Depositing material initially depositing a first material having a relatively high melting point, then depositing a second material which has a melting point lower than the relatively high melting point of the first material. The depositing step including heating the first and second materials with a laser to sinter the materials to the component, then putting the component into the furnace for a heat cycle, determining predicted characteristics of the first object, comparing the predicted characteristics of the first object to the reference data to provide machining data and machining the first object.
