Example embodiments provide an additive manufacturing (AM) compensation system comprising a sensor suite, a controller unit, and an AM device. The sensor suite may be configured to measure ambient conditions through the use of at least one sensing element. The controller unit may be configured to receive the measured ambient conditions and generate adjusted AM data corresponding to a build in response to the measured ambient conditions, the controller comprising a ruleset comparison unit, a machine instruction buffer, and machine instructions for the build. The AM device may be configured to receive the adjusted AM data and manufacturing the build based on the adjusted AM data.
