POWDER BED FUSION ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING METHODS AND APPARATUS

This invention concerns a powder bed fusion additive manufacturing method comprising forming layers, L1, L2, of powder of a powder bed and exposing the layers, L1, L2, to one or more energy beams to melt the powder to form an object. The exposure of each layer, L1, L2, to the or each energy beam for...

Zusammenfassung:This invention concerns a powder bed fusion additive manufacturing method comprising forming layers, L1, L2, of powder of a powder bed and exposing the layers, L1, L2, to one or more energy beams to melt the powder to form an object. The exposure of each layer, L1, L2, to the or each energy beam forms melt pools 300a to 300i in a conduction or transition mode with an exposure distance, PD, between adjacent exposures within the layer, L1, L2, being 40% to 60% of a width of the melt pools 300a to 300i generated by the exposures and an offset, OD, of exposures between successively melted layers, L1, L2, in a direction in which the exposure distance. PD, is measured, being 40% to 60% of the exposure distance OD.
