Claim 17:
18. The method according to claim 1, further comprising steps of:
during at least one of the initial forming pass or the subsequent forming pass, measuring a temperature of the compact along a predetermined portion of the surface of the compact using a beam of electromagnetic radiation;
during at least the one of the initial forming pass or the subsequent forming pass, measuring a temperature of the compact along a second predetermined portion of the surface of the compact using a second beam of electromagnetic radiation;
determining a temperature differential between the temperature of the compact along the predetermined portion of the surface of the compact and the temperature of the compact along the second predetermined portion of the surface of the compact; and
controlling, based on the temperature differential, at least one of a feed speed of the rotary incremental forming process or a rotational speed of the rotary incremental forming process during at least the one of the initial forming pass or the subsequent forming pass,
wherein the predetermined portion of the surface of the compact is at a different location on the surface than the second predetermined portion.
