1. A 3-D printed component comprising:
a plurality of metrology features arranged at different feature locations on a surface of the component and configured to enable a measurement device to detect the feature locations and to determine at least a component position or a component orientation of the component based on the detected feature locations, wherein each of the metrology features is printed-in with the component; and
an engagement feature configured to be engaged by a robot end effector of a robot, wherein the engagement feature is printed-in with the component.
