Abstract: A method for operating an additive manufacturing apparatus, the method comprises directing a first energy beam along a surface contour vector in a build plane. A second energy beam is directed along a plurality of substantially parallel hatch vectors disposed in the build plane inward of the surface contour vector. A sum of the surface contour vector and the plurality of hatch vectors define a processed powder region in the build plane. A third energy beam is directed along an offset contour vector in the build plane. The offset contour vector includes a plurality of unprocessed powder regions in the build plane between the surface contour vector and the plurality of hatch vectors.

Abstract: A method of obtaining a sample of materials includes building a product through an additive manufacturing process. A capsule is formed with an internal chamber inside of the capsule. The capsule is formed during the building of the additive manufacturing product. A sample of powder is encapsulated inside the internal chamber as the capsule is built. The internal chamber is hermetically sealed from an exterior environment to retain the sample of powder in the internal chamber.

Abstract: An additive manufacturing apparatus is disclosed which includes a movable platform. The movable platform has a plurality of fasteners and an upper surface, and at least one indexing feature. An upper surface of a movable platform is coupled with an indexing device such that movement of either one corresponds to movement of the other. The indexing device is capable of receiving a compatible indexing device from a manufacturing

Abstract: A component includes a support structure made with an additive manufacturing process with a first end and a second end, and an object made with an additive manufacturing process with a first end and a second end, where the first end of the object is attached to the second end of the support structure. A cross-sectional area of the first end of the object is larger than a cross-sectional area of the second end of the support structure. A method of making an object, the method includes manufacturing a support structure with an additive manufacturing process. An object is manufactured on top of and connected to the support structure with an additive manufacturing process, wherein there is a witness mark created between the support structure and the object. The witness mark is identified. The object is separated from the support structure along the witness mark.
