SYSTEM AND METHODS FOR ENHANCING THE BUILD PARAMETERS OF A COMPONENT

摘要

A direct metal laser melting (DMLM) system for enhancing build parameters of a DMLM component includes a confocal optical system configured to measure at least one of a melt pool size and a melt pool temperature. The DMLM system further includes a computing device configured to receive at least one of the melt pool size or the melt pool temperature from the confocal optical system. Furthermore, the DMLM system includes a controller configured to control the operation of a laser device based on at least one build parameter.

1. A direct metal laser melting (DMLM) system comprising:
a confocal optical system configured to measure at least one of a melt pool size or a melt pool temperature; a computing device configured to:
receive at least one of the melt pool size or the melt pool temperature from said optical system;generate a correction factor based on at least one of the size or the temperature of the melt pool; andmodify at least one build parameter based on said correction factor to achieve a desired physical property; and a controller configured to control operation of a laser device based on said at least one build parameter.
