Zusammenfassung:A method for additively manufacturing a component includes the steps: generating, via imaging software, a plurality of slices of a support structure of the component based on component geometry. The method also includes melting or fusing, via the additive manufacturing system, layers of material to a build platform of the component so as to form the support structure according to the plurality ofslices. The support structure includes a lattice configuration having of a plurality of support members arranged together to form a plurality of cells. Further, the method includes melting or fusing,via the additive manufacturing system, a component body to the support structure. After the component body solidifies, the method includes removing all of the support structure from the component bodyto form the component. 一种用于增材制造部件的方法,包括基于部件几何形状经由成像软件产生部件的支撑结构的多个切片。该方法还包括,根据多个切片经由增材制造系统将材料的层熔化或熔融到部件的构建平台,以便形成支撑结构。支撑结构包括格子构造,格子构造具有布置在一起以形成多个胞格的多个支撑构件。进一步,该方法包括,经由增材制造系统将部件本体熔化或熔融到支撑结构。在部件本体凝固之后,该方法包括,从部件本体去除所有的支撑结构,以形成部件。
