1. An electrochemical additive manufacturing system comprising:
a deposition power supply;
deposition control circuits, coupled to the deposition power supply;
an electrode array, comprising individually-addressable electrodes such that each of the individually-addressable electrodes is electrically coupled to one of the deposition control circuits;
a deposition electrode;
an electrode-position actuator configured to
(a) position the electrode array and the deposition electrode substantially parallel relative to each other in an initial relative position between the electrode array and the deposition electrode,
(b) using at least a rotational translation, spatially translate the electrode array and the deposition electrode from the initial relative position between the electrode array and the deposition electrode to a shifted relative position between the electrode array and the deposition electrode; and
a system controller configured to (a) create an initial target map, comprising individual target currents, based on the initial relative position between the electrode array and the deposition electrode, and (b) create an updated target map by shifting the individual target currents of the initial target map using a spatial reference between the initial relative position and the shifted relative position.
