Method for manufacturing a part by means of an additive manufacturing technique

Method for manufacturing a part by means of an additive manufacturing technique and by post additive manufacturing process steps, comprising the steps of:

• providing first CAD data representing the final geometry of the part to be manufactured;
• converting said first CAD data into second morphed CAD data by means of a morphing process, whereby said morphing process takes into consideration all distortions of part geometry, which develop during the additive manufacturing process and the post additive manufacturing process steps such that the part manufactured in accordance with said second morphed CAD data has a geometry in accordance with said first CAD data;
• and
• manufacturing said part by means of said additive manufacturing technique in accordance with said second morphed CAD data.
