Methods of tolerance analysis and adjustments in additive manufacturing

A computer-implemented method comprising:

• obtaining an electronic design of a part geometry for a part for additive manufacturing;
• obtaining first datum information indicating a sequence of one or more datums for the part geometry,
• obtaining a first electronic scan mapping of an object additively manufactured according to the electronic design of the part geometry;
• sequentially aligning the first electronic scan mapping to the electronic design of the part geometry according to the sequence of one or more datums indicated in the first datum information;
• generating a first deviation profile based on the alignment of the aligning the first electronic scan mapping to the electronic design of the part geometry according to the sequence of one or more datums indicated in the first datum information;
• wherein the first deviation profile comprises information indicating or representing a deviation between the electronic design of the part geometry and the first electronic scan mapping of the object;
• adjusting the electronic design of the part geometry based on the first deviation profile to compensate for distortion indicated in the first electronic scan mapping.
