An additive manufacturing apparatus can . .41 4 include a printer that additively manufactures structures for a vehicle, and multiple analysis components. Each analysis component can ir) receive information based on a design model of the vehicle and analyze the information based on an analysis factor. Each analysis irl il f ) component analyzes the information based on a different analysis factor. An integrator can receives the analyzed information from the Cr; analysis components, update the design model based on the analyzed information, and determine whether the updated design model 0 satisfies criteria. If the updated design model satisfies the criteria, the integrator determines printing instructions for the printer to print --.., \" one or more structures of the vehicle based on the updated design model, and if the updated design model does not satisfy the criteria, IN the integrator sends information based on the updated design model to the analysis components.
