摘要: A method for detecting a position of an energy beam comprises mapping a first density modulated x-ray signal with a plurality of locations on an energy beam target, thereby generating a model of a background x-ray intensity. The method further comprises forming an x-ray signal time series using subsequent intensity modulated x-ray signals, each resulting from scanning the energy beam along the energy beam target in one of a plurality of directions at one of a plurality of speeds, and determining the position of the energy beam based upon a received x-ray signal strength based on the x-ray signal time series and the model of the background x-ray intensity.

摘要: A method for producing three-dimensional objects layer by layer using a powdery material which can be solidified by irradiating it with at least two electron beams, said method comprises a pre-heating step, wherein the pre-heating step comprises the sub-step of scanning a pre-heating powder layer area (100) by scanning a first electron beam in a first region (I) and by scanning a second electron beam in a second region (II) distributed over the pre-heating powder layer area (100), wherein consecutively scanned paths are separated by, at least, a security distance (ΔY), said sub-step further comprising the step of synchronising the preheating of said first and second electron beams when simultaneously preheating said powder material within said first and second regions respectively, so that said first and second electron beams are always separated to each other with at least a minimum security distance (ΔX).

摘要: A depowdering apparatus for depowdering a cake comprising a build part includes a depowdering chamber, a blast nozzle, and a build elevator. The depowdering chamber includes a bottom surface and a build inlet extending through the bottom surface, where the build inlet includes an inlet axis that is substantially vertically oriented. The blast nozzle is positioned within the depowdering chamber and oriented to direct a fluid stream toward the inlet axis. The blast nozzle is laterally spaced from the inlet axis and operable to revolve about the inlet axis on a travel path encircling the inlet axis. The build elevator is arranged below the build inlet in a vertical direction and is operable to raise the cake comprising the build part through the build inlet and into the depowdering chamber along the inlet axis as the blast nozzle is revolved about the inlet axis on the travel path.
