    摘要: An additive layer manufacture machine generates a first electron beam for scanning a powder layer to be melted in a selective melting process. Backscatter electrons from the interaction between the first electron beam and the powder layer is detected by a backscatter detector. Any defects in the powder layer can then be identified, or inferred, from the detected backscatter electrons. If necessary, any defects can be removed from the powder layer before selective melting. Once the powder layer has been inspected and if necessary improved, selective melting of the layer is performed in order to produce a layer of the component. The process may be repeated to generate a finished component with good mechanical properties.

    摘要: An additive layer manufacture (ALM) machine generates a first electron beam for selectively melting a layer of metal powder, and a second electron beam for detecting defects in the selectively melted layer once it has solidified. The second electron beam has a lower power than the first electron beam so as to be used to identify any defects without performing further melting. If any defects are detected, they can be removed, for example by re-melting, before the next layer of powder is supplied. The process may be repeated to generate a finished component with good mechanical properties.

    摘要: An additive layer manufacture (ALM) machine comprises an energy source (180) for selectively melting a layer of metal powder (500), and an electron beam (110) for determining the shape of the selectively melted solid layer (320) once it has solidified. The shape is determined by detecting backscattered electrons (130) from the interaction between the electron beam (110) and the solid layer (320). If the shape of the solid layer (320) is outside a determined tolerance, it may be corrected before proceeding. The process may be repeated to generate a finished component (300) with good mechanical properties and accurate geometry.
