Compensation for additive manufacturing

A method of forming a component, the method comprising:

• identifying an acute angle in an original model that is a virtual model of the component, the acute angle defined by a first surface and a second surface;
• compensating the original model to create a compensated model, wherein the compensating includes removing a portion of the first surface or the second surface at the acute angle to form a compensated angle;
• and
• forming, by additive manufacturing, the component based upon the compensated model such that the formed component includes a final acute angle that is more alike the identified acute angle in the original model than the compensated angle due to distortions during forming of the component.
