Abstract: A method of manufacturing an object by additive manufacturing is provided. The method includes lowering a build platform having a given layer of build material to powder provided on a window. The powder is irradiated to form a subsequent layer that corresponds to the given layer. The method then includes solidifying the subsequent layer, and raising the build platform and the subsequent layer away from the window. The steps are repeated until the desired object is formed.

Abstract: A method for additive manufacturing utilizing a build plate with a release layer is provided. The method includes irradiating a first layer of powder in a powder bed to form a first fused region over a support. The first release layer is provided between the first fused region and the support. The method also includes providing a given layer of powder over the powder bed and irradiating the given layer of powder in the powder bed to form a given fused region. Providing the given layer of powder over the powder bed and irradiating the given layer of powder in the powder bed to form a given fused region are repeated until the object is formed in the powder bed. The object may be formed fusing individual layers with irradiation by laser or ebeam, or by binder jetting. The method further includes separating the object from the support by melting or dissolving the first release layer.

Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to additive manufacturing systems and methods involving a mechanism for feeding in a desired amount of fresh recoater blade. This can be accomplished by, for example, spooling the fresh blade material from a spool. This helps prevent work stoppage when a portion of a recoater blade becomes damaged. As such, the present disclosure also relates to a system and method for detecting whether a recoater blade is damaged, and if there is damage, then causing a fresh blade portion to be fed in.

Abstract: A method of creating an article of manufacture is provided, which includes directing multiple laser beams to a single galvanometer; and dynamically repositioning the multiple laser beams in counterpart paths using the single galvanometer to shine the multiple laser beams on and melt a first powder material and, upon solidification of the melted first powder material, forming a first series of duplicate three dimensional structures, where each of the multiple laser beams is used to form at least one of the first series of duplicate three dimensional structures.
