Zusammenfassung:	A method and an optical measurement apparatus for a re-coater blade alignment are disclosed. The method includes adjusting an optical measurement apparatus over a surface of a material to align the optical measurement apparatus with a reference plane of the material. Further, the method includes positioning a re-coater assembly, the optical measurement apparatus, and the material such that the re-coater assembly is between the optical measurement apparatus and the material, and so a re-coater blade of the re-coater assembly is positioned proximate to the material. The method further includes adjusting the re-coater assembly via a plurality of second aligning elements to align the re-coater blade in parallel with the optical measurement apparatus.
