description Techniques of optically sensing fiducial targets, such as calibration patterns, within an additive fabrication device are provided. In some embodiments, fiducial targets may be disposed on a structure configured to contact source material of the additive fabrication device, the source material being a material from which the device is configured to fabricate solid objects. Indirect sensing means may be employed such that light emitted from a light source of the additive fabrication device scatters from the surface of a fiducial target. At least some of this scattered light can be measured by a sensor and used to determine a position of the fiducial target. In some embodiments, the fiducial target may be configured to move relative to the light source and/or sensor to provide additional information on the target's position via the light scattered from its surface.
