    Abstract: A computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions, that when executed by a computer processor, cause the computer processor to discretize distinct surfaces of a 3D model defining nominal geometry of a component to be manufactured using an additive manufacturing machine; define a build orientation of the 3D model, the build orientation comprises an initial build plane and a build direction; apply one or more in-plane offsets to at least one of the discretized distinct surfaces of the 3D model; and generate an offset 3D model for use by the additive manufacturing machine to manufacture the component such that a manufactured component comprises the nominal geometry defined by the 3D model, where the offset 3D model defines the nominal geometry of the component offset by the one or more in-plane offsets applied to the at least one of the discretized distinct surfaces of the 3D model.
