    摘要: Methods of treating fused build material in an additive manufacturing system are described. The method includes a first treatment process comprising: depositing unfused build material over the fused build material in a working area of the additive manufacturing system, thereby providing a first build material layer; and supplying energy from a first energy source to the first build material layer to heat but substantially not fuse the unfused build material of the first build material layer. The method also includes a second treatment process comprising: depositing unfused build material over the first build material layer in the working area, thereby providing a second build material layer; and supplying energy from a second energy source to the second build material layer to heat but substantially not fuse the unfused build material of the first and second build material layers.
