Open loop parameter optimization for additive manufacturing

A processing system, comprising:

• a memory comprising computer-executable instructions;
• and
• one or more processors configured to execute the computer-executable instructions and cause the processing system to:
• determine a change to at least one process parameter of a plurality of process parameters while additively manufacturing a first part using an additive manufacturing apparatus according to a build file comprising machine code defining the plurality of process parameters;
• modify the build file based on the determined change to the at least one process parameter to generate a modified build file;
• and
• additively manufacture a second part using the additive manufacturing apparatus according to the modified build file,
• wherein:
• additively manufacturing the first part is performed in a closed-loop control mode, and
• additively manufacturing the second part is performed in an open-loop control mode.
