Abstract:
An additive manufacturing system includes an energy gun having a plurality of energy source devices each emitting an energy beam. A primary beam melts a selected region of a substrate into a melt pool and at least one secondary beam heat-conditions the substrate proximate the melt pool to reduce workpiece internal stress and/or enhance micro-structure composition of the workpiece.
Abstract:
A system is provided for additively manufacturing a part. This additive manufacturing system includes a base, a solidification device and a detection device. The base is adapted to support material; e.g., powder material. The solidification device is adapted to solidify at least a portion of the supported material to form at least a portion of the part. The detection device is adapted to detect emissions produced by the solidification of at least a portion of the material.
