Abstract:
An additive manufacturing system (100) includes a build tool (110) configured to deposit a feedstock material and/or deliver consolidation energy promoting consolidation of the feedstock material within an accessible range defining a build space. The system also includes a controller (120) configured to determine a build trajectory through the build space, where the build trajectory includes build points at which the feedstock material and/or the consolidation energy is applied (202), determine respective consolidation times of the feedstock material for one or more of the plurality of the build points (204), determine a deposition rate at which the feedstock material is deposited and/or consolidation energy is delivered to the feedstock material based at least in part on the determined consolidation times of the feedstock material (204), and cause the build tool to build an object in accordance with the determined build trajectory and the determined deposition rate (208).
