Abstract: The present approach relates to the synchronization of frame acquisition by a camera with an external event or trigger despite the camera lacking external control or synchronization capabilities. For example, inexpensive and/or consumer grade camera typically lack a control interface to explicitly synchronize with an external trigger event or external device. The present approach allows synchronization of such a camera lacking external synchronization capabilities with an external event or device.

Abstract: Methods of additively manufacturing a three-dimensional object include irradiating a first build plane region using a first energy beam, irradiating a second build plane region using a second energy beam, and irradiating an interlace region between the first build plane region and the second build plane region. Irradiating the interlace region comprises directing the first energy beam along a first oscillating path and directing the second energy beam along a second oscillating path intersecting and overlapping with the first oscillating path.
