Zusammenfassung:	An additive manufacturing system and method includes a powder bed, an additive manufacturing head that is configured to emit a first energy into the powder bed to form at least one layer of a component, a part exposing mechanism that is configured to operate so that the component is in a first position at a first time within the powder bed, and a second position at a second time in which a portion of the component is exposed outside of the powder bed, and a surface smoothing head that is configured to emit a second energy onto the portion of the component in the second position to smooth the portion of the component.
