1. A method for inspecting components, the method comprising:
providing a plurality of different three-dimensional component CAD models, each three-dimensional component CAD model of the plurality of different three-dimensional component CAD models sharing at least one common geometric feature, and each three-dimensional component CAD model of the plurality of different three-dimensional component CAD models is different than each other three-dimensional component CAD model of the plurality of different three-dimensional component CAD models for at least one geometric feature of the each three-dimensional component CAD model;
generating an inspection sequence for the at least one common geometric feature;
collecting feature manufacturing data for the at least one common geometric feature during manufacturing of a plurality of different components corresponding to the respective plurality of different three-dimensional component CAD models;
analyzing the feature manufacturing data associated with the at least one common geometric feature;
modifying the inspection sequence for the at least one common geometric feature based on the analyzed feature manufacturing data; and
inspecting components based on the modified inspection sequence.
