Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a system for forming a material layer that may make use of an optical light source for generating an optical beam, and a beam shaping subsystem configured to shape the optical beam to generate a complex beam intensity profile. The complex shaped beam may be used to selectively melt at least portions of a bed of powder particles residing on a substrate during formation of the material layer, as the optical light source is moved. A computer may be used to control the optical light source. The complex beam intensity profile enables control over the microstructure of grains formed during melting of the powder particles as the material layer is formed.

System and method for controlling an energy beam of an additive manufacturing system

Patent Griffith, Brett E.; Boucher, Christopher L.

An additive manufacturing system includes an energy beam generator that generates an energy beam to melt and fuse raw materials for a part and a computing device that controls operation of the energy beam generator. The computing device includes a memory element that stores or access a three-dimensional model of the part, and a processing element that receives at least a portion of the three-dimensional model and controls a parameter of the energy beam generator according to a gradient function so as to apply a variable amount of heat to the raw material that forms an overhang on the part.

Optimal toolpath generation system and method for additively manufactured composite materials

Patent Lewicki, James; Compel, William; Tortorelli, Daniel; ...

The present disclosure relates to a system for optimizing an additive manufacturing (AM) process. The system may use a printing component for using a material to form a component in a layer-by-layer process. An electronic controller may control movement of one of the printing component or a substrate on which the component is being formed, in a manner to optimize a toolpath for the printing component as each layer of the component is formed. Optimization operations are performed using an optimization subsystem which enables manufacturability constraints, as well as optimized toolpaths for each layer of the component, to be definedmore » « less

Two-color high speed thermal imaging system for laser-based additive manufacturing process monitoring

Patent Calta, Nicholas P.; Guss, Gabe; Matthews, Manyalibo Joseph

Monitoring melt pool temperature in laser powder bed fusion by providing a build laser that produces a laser beam that is directed onto the melt pool and produces an incandescence that emanates from the melt pool, receiving the incandescence and producing a first image having a first spectral band and a second image having a second spectral band, and determining the ratio of said first image having a first spectral band and said second image having a second spectral band to monitor the melt pool temperature.
