Methods and systems for fabricating components

A system for fabricating a component using a fabricating tool, said system comprising:

• at least one measuring tool for measuring an actual property of a region of the component;
• and
• a processor operatively connected to the measuring tool for receiving measurements therefrom, said processor configured to:
• determine the actual property of the region of the component using the measuring tool;
• compare the actual property of the region of the component with an expected property of the region that is based on a model of an expected geometry of the component to determine a difference between the actual property and the expected property;
• update a geometry of a surface to be fabricated on the component based on the difference between the actual property and the expected property;
• and
• update a path of the fabricating tool that is electronically stored in a memory and is executable to fabricate the surface to be fabricated based on the updated geometry of the surface to be fabricated.

A method for fabricating a component using a tool, said method comprising:

• determining an actual location of a control point located within a first region of the component;
• comparing the actual location of the control point located within the first region with an expected location of the control point that is based on a model of an expected geometry of the component to determine a displacement of the actual location of the control point from the expected location;
• updating a geometry of a surface to be fabricated on the component within a second region of the component based on the difference between the actual location and the expected location of the control point;
• and
• updating a path of the tool that is electronically stored in a memory and is executable to at least partially fabricate the surface to be fabricated based on the updated geometry of the surface to be fabricated.
