Abstract:
An apparatus for heat deposition in additive manufacturing may include: a first optical beam source configured to generate a first optical beam; a second optical beam source configured to generate a second optical beam; and/or an optical system. The optical system may be configured to move the generated first optical beam over a target area. The optical system may be further configured to move the generated second optical beam over the target area so that a path of the second optical beam moving over the target area is dithered about a path of the first optical beam moving over the target area. The optical system may be configured to focus the generated first optical beam at a plane of a target area. The optical system may be further configured to focus the generated second optical beam at the plane of the target area.
