Abstract
A method of manufacturing a component using an additive manufacturing system is provided. The method includes providing a build file on a controller of the additive manufacturing system. The build file includes at least one generating function, at least one seed value, and at least one function parameter. The method also includes generating a curve that corresponds to the component based on the at least one generating function, the at least one seed value, and the at least one function parameter. The method further includes positioning a material on a surface. The method further includes determining, using the controller, a plurality of set points for a consolidation device. The plurality of set points are located along the curve. The method also includes operating the consolidation device of the additive manufacturing system to consolidate the material.
