An exemplary method for determining a set of additive manufacturing parameters includes, a) determining a nominal parameter of at least one surface of a component, b) determining at least a second order variation in the nominal parameter, c) predicting an actual resultant dimension based at least in part on the nominal parameter and the second order variation, and d) adjusting at least one additive manufacturing process parameter in response to the predicted actual resultant dimension.

Movement commands in a sequence of movement commands each define a position to be adopted by a tool of a processing machine relative to a workpiece. During the execution of the sequence of movement commands by a control device of the processing machine, the tool machines the workpiece at least intermittently. The movement commands, during their execution by the control device of the processing machine, are converted into a trajectory including the defined positions. A depiction of the trajectory defined by the sequence of movement commands is output to a user. The distances between the positions of directly successive movement commands are ascertained. Positions of directly successive movement commands whose distance is below a predetermined minimum distance are highlighted in the depiction by means of a marker.
