    摘要: Methods and apparatus for two-dimensional and three-dimensional scanning path visualization are disclosed. An example apparatus includes a parameter determiner to determine at least one of a laser beam parameter setting or an electron beam parameter setting, a melt pool geometry determiner to identify melt pool dimensions using the parameter setting, the melt pool geometry determiner to vary the parameter setting to obtain multiple melt pool dimensions, and a visualization path generator to generate a three-dimensional view of a scanning path for an additive manufacturing process using the identified melt pool dimensions. The visualization path generator adjusts the laser beam parameters based on the generated three-dimensional view.

    摘要: Methods of simulating additively manufacturing an object may include generating a simulated additively manufactured object based at least in part on a plurality of approximate consolidation domains that respectively correspond to a plurality of consolidation tracks determined from one or more digital representations of an additively manufactured object, and determining a predictive inference with respect to one or more material properties of the object to be additively manufactured based at least in part on the simulated additively manufactured object. Methods may include generating, for an object to be additively manufactured, a CAD file and/or a build file based at least in part on a simulated additively manufactured object and/or based at least in part on one or more predictive inferences with respect to one or more material properties of the object to be additively manufactured. An object may be additively manufactured based at least in part on a simulated additively manufactured object and/or a CAD file and/or the build file corresponding thereto.
