ENERGY DENSITY CLASSIFICATION IN ADDITIVE PRODUCTION ENVIRONMENTS

摘要

Systems and methods are provided for generating an energy density map of an object to be built in an additive production environment. Certain embodiments provide a method of building an object using additive production, the method comprising the following: receiving a work file to build the object, the work file comprising a plurality of cuts of the object, and wherein a first section of the object indicates scan lines to direct an energy source to building material to build up the first section of the object; determining operating parameters of the energy source; and generating a first energy density map of the first cut of the article based on the work file and operating parameters of the energy source, the first energy density map indicating an amount of energy from the energy source per surface building material directed to the building material for the first cut of the object.
