Abstract:
High-throughput printing, possible with multiple electron beams, is facilitated by a continuous powder bed preparation process operating in parallel to apply and pre-sinter the powder along a continuous helical path. The sintered powder may be self-supporting to allow unconstrained expansion in the radial direction when high energy is used for powder fusion.
