Abstract

See full text

The present disclosure generally relates to methods for additive manufacturing (AM) that utilize ghost support structure in the process of building objects, as well as novel ghost support structures to be used within these AM processes. The ghost support structures include a portion of powder that is scanned with an energy beam having insufficient power to fuse the powder. The ghost supports control timing of the additive manufacturing process and allow portions of the object to cool to a desired temperature before adjacent portions of the object are scanned.
