Zusammenfassung:	Disclosed herein are print heads (104) for an additive manufacturing apparatus (10). The print heads (104) include a housing (130). A projection element (116) is disposed within the housing (130) and is configured to receive one or more laser beams (106) from a beam emitter (108) and project a plurality of projected laser beams (118) in a pattern (122). A consolidating optic (124) is disposed within the housing (130) and is located below the projection element (116). The consolidating optic (124) is configured to consolidate the pattern (122) of the plurality of projected laser beams (118) into a consolidated pattern of projected laser beams (126).
