Abstract

See full text

Additive manufacturing systems are disclosed. The additive manufacturing system may include a sintering device configured to sinter a powder material to form a component, and an actuator coupled to the sintering device. The actuator may adjust a position of the sintering device. Additionally, the system may include at least one computing device operably connected to the actuator and the sintering device. The at least one computing device may control a movement of the sintering device by performing processes including determining an exposure pattern for the sintering device for sintering the powder material based on a geometry of the component. The exposure pattern may include at least one exposure track extending between two sides of the component. The computing device(s) may also perform processes including moving the sintering device, using the actuator, in the determined exposure pattern to sinter the powder material to form the component.
