DISPOSITIF D'IMAGERIE, SYSTÈME D'IMPRESSION 3D, COMPRENANT UN DISPOSITIF D'IMAGERIE ET PROCÉDÉ D'EXPLOITATION DE CE SYSTÈME

摘要

An additive manufacturing system (100) includes a surface (112) holding a particulate (114) and a focused energy source (104) configured to generate at least one beam (132) that moves along the surface to heat the particulate to a melting point creating a melt path. A camera (136) is configured to generate an image (200, 300, 302) of the surface as the at least one beam moves along the surface. The camera has a field of view and is positioned in relation to the surface such that the field of view encompasses a portion of the melt path defining a plurality of rasters (202). The camera generates a time exposure image of at least the portion of the melt path defining the plurality of rasters.
