An optical system for a selective laser melting technology

摘要

The article is devoted to problems of design an optical system for an additive machine. The article discusses the possibility of applying different types of laser sources. It is proposed to use laser diode bars stack as a more efficient source. There are shown the results of attempts of modeling optical system in Zemax. There are shown and described the main elements of such a system. The study also considered the method is assembling a system for efficient ray tracing from laser diodes bar.
