    Abstract: A lamination molding method, which repeats a material layer forming step of forming a material layer and a solidifying step of irradiating an irradiation region of the material layer with laser beams scanned by n scanners to form a solidified layer, includes: a first dividing step and an irradiation order deciding step. In the first dividing step, the irradiation region is divided to 2n-1 or more divided regions by a plurality of first dividing lines in a manner that irradiation time of each of the divided regions to which the laser beams are simultaneously irradiated becomes equal. In the irradiation order deciding step, an irradiation order of the divided regions in the solidifying step is decided in a manner that the laser beams are simultaneously irradiated to the divided regions that are not adjacent, and the laser beams are not simultaneously irradiated to the divided regions that are adjacent.

    Abstract: A method for preparing an additive manufacturing program includes a loading step, a dividing step, an overhang calculating step, a subdividing step, a maintaining step, and an outputting step. In the loading step, a three-dimensional model is loaded. In the dividing step, the three-dimensional model is divided into divided layers. In the overhang calculating step, an overhang angle or overhang length of the divided layer is calculated. In the subdividing step, at least a part of the divided layer including an overhang portion is subdivided into two or more in a lamination direction. In the maintaining step, neither subdivision of the divided layer nor addition of a support structure supporting the divided layer is performed. The subdividing step and the maintaining step are selectively performed based on the overhang angle or overhang length. In the outputting step, an additive manufacturing program defining a command pertaining to additive manufacturing is output.

    Abstract: A lamination molding apparatus includes a molding room, a chamber, a chamber window, a molding table, a molding table driving device, surrounding walls, an irradiation device, a measuring unit, and a controller. The measuring unit includes a first measuring device acquiring a measured value of a light intensity, and a second measuring device acquiring a value of a beam diameter, and measures laser beams outputted based on set values of light intensity during molding. The controller determines an abnormality has occurred when a slope of a linear function obtained from a relationship between the measured value of the light intensity and the value of the beam diameter at a predetermined height is out of a predetermined range, or when a slope of a linear function obtained from a relationship between the measured value of the light intensity and a value of a focal position is out of a predetermined range.

    Abstract: A calibration method of an additive manufacturing apparatus includes an irradiation trace forming step, an imaging step, a specifying step, and a correction step. The irradiation trace forming step scans laser beams with each of a plurality of scanners with respect to a plurality of target positions on a calibration plate installed on a molding region, and forms a plurality of irradiation traces having different shapes for each of the plurality of scanners. The imaging step simultaneously images the plurality of irradiation traces formed with respect to the same target position. The specifying step specifies a plurality of irradiated positions of the laser beam scanned by each of the plurality of scanners. The correction step generates correction data that specifies a deviation amount at any point of a laser coordinate system related to each of the plurality of scanners.
