Original Abstract Submitted
Methods of manufacturing a manufactured component, additive manufacturing systems that perform the methods, and storage media that directs additive manufacturing systems to perform the methods. The methods include determining a process parameter value and determining a spatial offset parameter value based upon the process parameter value. The methods also include forming the manufactured component utilizing the additive manufacturing system. The forming includes supplying a feedstock material, delivering, to an addition location, an amount of energy sufficient to form a melt pool of the feedstock material, and moving the addition location along a scan path to define a plurality of consolidated material tracks from the feedstock material. Each consolidated material track extends between a corresponding initiation location and a corresponding termination location, and a location of at least one of the corresponding initiation location and the corresponding termination location is based on the spatial offset parameter value.
