    Abstract: Various embodiments of the present invention relate to a method for operating an additive manufacturing apparatus in which a three-dimensional article is formed. Said method comprising the steps of: providing a vacuum chamber having at least a first and a second section, wherein said first and second sections are openly connected to each other, providing a predetermined vacuum level inside said vacuum chamber, providing a layer of powder material on a work table in said first section of said vacuum chamber, directing an electron beam from said at least one electron beam source provided in said second section over said work table to fuse in first selected locations according to said model to form a first cross section of said three-dimensional article, purging said second section with a dry gas when said vacuum chamber is open for prohibiting ambient air into said second section.

    Abstract: Provided is a method for forming a three-dimensional article through successively depositing individual layers of powder material that are fused together so as to form the article in a vacuum chamber, said method comprising the steps of: providing at least one electron beam source emitting an electron beam for at least one of heating or fusing said powder material in said vacuum chamber, applying a first set of beam parameters for formation of a fused bulk material of said three-dimensional article, where said bulk material has a predetermined microstructure, applying a second set of beam parameters for formation of a top portion of said three-dimensional article, wherein said second set of beam parameters is applied a predetermined number of layers prior to reaching a top surface of said three-dimensional article for encapsulating chimney porosities into said bulk material. Associated apparatus and computer program product are also provided.

    Abstract: A method comprising the steps of: distributing a titanium alloy or pure titanium powder layer on a work table inside a vacuum chamber, directing at least one electron beam from at least one electron beam source over the work table causing the powder layer to fuse in selected locations, distributing a second powder layer on the work table of a titanium alloy or pure titanium inside the build chamber, directing the at least one electron beam over the work table causing the second powder layer to fuse in selected locations, and releasing a predefined concentration of the gas from the metal powder into the vacuum chamber when at least one of heating or fusing the metal powder layer, wherein at least one gas comprising hydrogen is absorbed into or chemically bonded to the titanium or titanium alloy powder to a concentration of 0.01-0.5% by weight of the hydrogen.

    Abstract: A method for forming at least one three-dimensional article through successive fusion of parts of a powder bed, the method comprising the steps of: providing a model of the at least one three dimensional article; applying a first powder layer on at least one build platform; directing an electron beam from an inclined electron beam source over the at least one build platform where a central electron beam emanating from the source is building an angle α with respect to a normal to the build platform≠0°, the directing of the first energy beam causing the first powder layer to fuse in a first selected locations according to the model; rotating or tilting the electron beam source a predetermined angle, directing the electron beam from the tilted or rotated electron beam source causing a first powder layer to fuse in a second selected locations according to the model.
