OBJECT WITH A NON-CONTACTING SUPPORT MADE BY ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING METHOD

摘要

An additively manufactured assembly includes an additively manufactured component (28) with an edge (60) oriented with respect to a recoater blade direction and a non-contact support (70) that does not form a part of the additively manufactured component (28). The additively manufactured support (70) is located adjacent the edge (60). A method of additively manufacturing a component (28) includes additively manufacturing a component (28) with an edge (60) oriented with respect to a recoater blade direction simultaneous with additively manufacturing an non-contact support (70) that does not form a part of the component (28), the additively manufactured support (70) located adjacent the edge (60).
