A method of additively manufacturing a plurality of parts in a manner that facilitates efficient collection of metrology data on the parts is described herein. The method includes the steps of: additively manufacturing a construct, the construct comprising: (i) a backing, and (ii) a plurality of parts connected to the backing; inserting the backing into an imaging apparatus in an orientation in which the plurality of parts are positioned for imaging; then imaging the plurality parts in the imaging apparatus to collect image data from each part, and then removing the construct from the imaging apparatus and separating the parts from the backing.
