Coordinated control for forming three-dimensional objects

An apparatus for printing a three-dimensional object, the apparatus comprising at least one controller configured to:

• (a) operatively couple with (i) a first component utilized during the printing of the three-dimensional object, (ii) a second component utilized during the printing of the three-dimensional object, (iii) at least one sensor, and (iv) a transforming agent;
• (b) direct the first component to execute a first process parameter at a first time according to a first plan;
• (c) direct the second component to execute a second process parameter at a second time according to a second plan;
• (d) direct the at least one sensor to measure an attribute of the printing of the three-dimensional object, wherein the three-dimensional object is printed at least in part by using the transforming agent to transform a pre-transformed material to a transformed material;
• and
• (e) coordinate the first time with the second time to reach a target attribute profile of the attribute at least in part by being configured to direct use of skywriting during a first period, wherein during the skywriting the at least one controller is configured to direct the transforming agent not to transform the pre-transformed material to the transformed material while the transforming agent propagates along a trajectory of the skywriting during the first period;
• and wherein during a second period the at least one controller is configured to direct the transforming agent to transform the pre-transformed material to the transformed material to print the three-dimensional object.
