    Abstract: An example method for detection of impurities in additive manufacturing material includes illuminating, by a light source, a sample of additive manufacturing material with light, while illuminating the sample of the additive manufacturing material with light, causing a camera to acquire image data of the sample, and processing the image data to determine an amount of impurities in the sample of the additive manufacturing material. An example system for detection of impurities in additive manufacturing material includes a light source for illuminating a sample of additive manufacturing material with light, a camera for acquiring image data of the sample while illuminating the sample of the additive manufacturing material with light, and a computing device having one or more processors configured to execute instructions stored in memory for processing the image data to determine an amount of impurities in the sample of the additive manufacturing material.

    Abstract: Additive manufacturing system includes one or more processors configured to determine one or more geometrical characteristics of each of multiple segments of a build part at a candidate position of the build part relative to an additive manufacturing instrument. The geometrical characteristics include an angle of incidence between a beam line extending from a beam emitter and a surface normal of a respective skin of the corresponding segment proximate to the beam line. The one or more processors select, based on the determined geometrical characteristics, a first set of beam parameters for forming a first segment of the build part and a second set of beam parameters for forming a second segment of the build part. At least one of the beam parameters in the second set differs from the beam parameters in the first set.

    Abstract: An additive manufacturing system includes one or more processors configured to determine one or more geometrical characteristics of each of multiple segments of a build part at a candidate position relative to an additive manufacturing instrument. The one or more geometrical characteristics include an angle of incidence between a beam line extending from a beam source and a surface normal of a respective skin of the corresponding segment proximate to the beam line. The one or more processors are configured to control the additive manufacturing instrument, based on the one or more geometrical characteristics, to direct focused energy beams from a first orientation relative to the build part to form a first segment of the segments of the build part and to direct focused energy beams from a second orientation relative to the build part to form a second segment of the segments of the build part.
