    Abstract: In one example, an apparatus for supplying material to an additive manufacturing platform comprises a rotatable delivery module comprising a vane; and a plurality of distribution elements. In use, the rotatable delivery module is controllable to rotate the vane to a supply position to enable material to be supplied to an additive manufacturing platform from the vane. The vane and the plurality of distribution elements are arranged such that during the rotation: the vane provides a dose amount of material from a material supply module for supply to an additive manufacturing platform and at least one of the plurality of distribution elements distributes material within the material supply module so that the vane supplies a substantially uniform dose of material along the length of the vane to the additive manufacturing platform.

    Abstract: A controller may be to receive temperature data representing a temperature distribution of at least part of a current layer of build material that is measured by a temperature sensor. The controller may be to determine one or more weighting factors representing a degree of influence of each of one or more previous layers of the build material beneath the current layer on a property of the current layer. The controller may be to identify one or more regions in the current layer based on the one or more weighting factors and based on how the property is exhibited by each of the one or more regions. The controller may be to cause the current layer to achieve a target temperature if the temperature data in a selected region of the identified one or more regions does not match the target temperature.

    Abstract translation: 控制器可以接收表示由温度传感器测量的构建材料的当前层的至少一部分的温度分布的温度数据。 控制器可以确定一个或多个加权因子,其表示当前层下面的构建材料的一个或多个以前的层的每一个的影响程度对当前层的属性的影响程度。 控制器可以基于一个或多个加权因子并且基于如何由一个或多个区域中的每个区域呈现属性来识别当前层中的一个或多个区域。 如果所识别的一个或多个区域的选定区域中的温度数据与目标温度不匹配,则控制器可以使当前层达到目标温度。
