ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING METHOD, ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING APPARATUS, AND ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING SYSTEM: abstract simplified (18024516)

• This abstract for appeared for patent application number 18024516 Titled 'ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING METHOD, ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING APPARATUS, AND ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING SYSTEM'

Simplified Explanation

This abstract describes an additive manufacturing method that involves measuring the temperature of an object or material being processed, and using that temperature data to correct the commands given to the manufacturing system. These corrected commands include instructions for supplying the material, providing a heat source to melt the material, moving the processing position, and supplying a shielding gas. The method aims to improve the accuracy and efficiency of the additive manufacturing process.

Original Abstract Submitted

An additive manufacturing method includes a step of measuring a temperature of an object of processing or a shaping material and outputting temperature data, a step of correcting basic commands based on a basic processing program and the temperature data, and determining post-correction commands including a material supply command, a heat source supply unit command, a drive command, and a gas supply command, a step of supplying the shaping material to a processing position of a shaped article based on the material supply command, a step of supplying a heat source to melt the shaping material supplied to the processing position based on the heat source supply unit command, a step of changing the relative position between the processing position and the shaped article based on the drive command, and a step of supplying, to the processing position, a shielding gas based on the gas supply command.
