Method for determining at least one printing process parameter value, computer-readable storage medium and additive manufacturing installation

Abstract

A method for determining at least one printing process parameter value for a beam melting process. The optimum determination of printing process parameter values for a beam melting process is difficult and requires complex simulation processes, which take a lot of time. The problem is solved by the method, which comprises the following three steps: (1) loading from a memory device first and second energy field data which are respectively assigned to energy fields of at least one track of a melting process; (2) determining result energy field data by overlaying the first energy field data with the second energy field data; and (3) determining at least one printing process parameter value for at least one printing process parameter of an additive manufacturing installation using the result energy field data.
