Adaptive deposition for initial layer of additive manufacturing process

An additive manufacturing system, comprising:

• an energy delivery device configured to deliver energy to a build surface of a deposit overlying a substrate to form a melt pool in the build surface;
• a powder delivery device configured to direct a powder stream toward the melt pool;
• and
• a computing device configured to:
• determine a first set of deposition parameters for an innermost layer of the deposit overlying the substrate;
• determine a second set of deposition parameters for an inner plurality of layers of the deposit overlying the innermost layer;
• determine a third set of deposition parameters for an outer plurality of layers of the deposit overlying the inner plurality of layers, wherein the third set of deposition parameters is different from the first and second sets of deposition parameters;
• and
• control the energy delivery device and the powder delivery device to:
• deposit the innermost layer on the substrate based on the first set of deposition parameters, wherein, when operating based on the first set of deposition parameters, the energy delivery device delivers a first amount of energy to the build surface;
• deposit the inner plurality of layers on the innermost layer based on the second set of deposition parameters, wherein, when operating based on the second set of deposition parameters, the energy delivery device delivers a second amount of energy to the build surface;
• and
• deposit the outer plurality of layers on the inner plurality of layers based on third set of deposition parameters, wherein, when operating based on the third set of deposition parameters, the energy delivery device delivers a third amount of energy to the build surface, and wherein the third amount of energy is different than each of the first and second amounts of energy.
