Additive manufacturing under generated force

A system comprising:

• a rotational center;
• a mechanical arm extending from the rotational center, the mechanical arm comprising a central section, the mechanical arm further comprising a peripheral section;
• a build platform located at the peripheral section of the mechanical arm, the build platform being movable incrementally and in parallel to the mechanical arm;
• a build platform controller configured for controlling incremental movement of the build platform;
• a material delivery system for delivering material to the build platform;
• a material delivery system controller configured for controlling amounts of the material delivered to the build platform;
• a laser scan system for scanning the material delivered to the build platform;
• a laser scan system controller configured for controlling the laser scan system;
• a motor operatively coupled to the central section of the mechanical arm, the motor for rotating the mechanical arm about the rotational center, a desired centrifugal acceleration being applied to the build platform during rotation of the mechanical arm about the rotational center, the motor further operatively coupled to the laser scan system, the motor for further rotating the laser scan system about the rotational center, rotation of the laser scan system correlating to the rotation of the mechanical arm;
• a motor controller configured for controlling the rotation of the mechanical arm, the motor controller further for controlling the rotation of the laser scan system;
• and
• a master controller communicatively coupled to the build platform controller, the material delivery system controller, the laser scan system controller, and the motor controller, wherein the master controller is configured to:
• determine a location of the material delivered to the build platform;
• calculate a rate of rotation of the build platform, the rate of rotation being a function of:
• the location of the material delivered;
• and
• the desired centrifugal acceleration;
• and
• calculate an adjustment factor to correlate the rotation of the laser scan system to the rotation of the mechanical arm, the adjustment factor being calculated as a function of:
• the location of the material delivered;
• and
• the calculated rate of rotation of the build platform;
• and
• convey the calculated rate of rotation to the motor controller.
