Abstract
A method operates a three-dimensional (3D) metal object manufacturing system to compensate for displacement errors that occur during object formation. In the method, image data of a metal object being formed by the 3D metal object manufacturing system is generated prior to completion of the metal object and compared to original 3D object design data of the object to identify one or more displacement errors. For the displacement errors outside a predetermined difference range, the method modifies machine-ready instructions for forming metal object layers not yet formed to compensate for the identified displacement errors and operates the 3D metal object manufacturing system using the modified machine-ready instructions.
