According to some embodiments, system and methods are provided comprising receiving, via a communication interface of a part parameter dictionary module comprising a processor, geometry data for a plurality of geometric structures forming a plurality of parts, wherein the parts are manufactured with an additive manufacturing machine; determining, using the processor of the part parameter dictionary module, a feature set for each geometric structure; generating, using the processor of the part parameter dictionary module, one of a coupon and a coupon set for the feature set; generating an optimized parameter set for each coupon, using the processor of the part parameter dictionary module, via execution of an iterative learning control process for each coupon; mapping, using the processor of the part parameter dictionary module, one or more parameters of the optimized parameter set to one or more features of the feature set; and generating a dictionary of optimized scan parameter sets to fabricate geometric structures with a material used in additive manufacturing. Numerous other aspects are provided.
