Abstract
Some examples include an additive manufacturing machine including a dose plate to receive build material onto, a heating element to selectively heat the build material dispensed on the dose plate, the build material selectively heated in at least two zones, a sensor to detect a temperature of each of the at least two zones, and a controller to control the heating element based on the temperatures of each of the at least two zones.
Claims15
An additive manufacturing machine, comprising:
- a dose plate to receive a dose of build material onto;
- a heating element to selectively heat the build material dispensed on the dose plate, the build material selectively heated in at least two zones;
- a sensor to detect a temperature of each of the at least two zones;
- and
- a controller to control the heating element based on the temperatures of each of the at least two zones.
2 more elements
A method of additive manufacturing, comprising:
- selectively heating build material disposed on a dose plate with a heating element, the build material selectively heated in at least two zones;
- sensing a temperature of each of at least two zones;
- transmitting temperature data of each of the at least two zones to a controller;
- and
- controlling the heating element to adjust the temperature of each of the at least two zones in response to the sensed temperature of each of the at least two zones.
2 more elements
An additive manufacturing machine, comprising:
- a plate to receive a dose of build material prior to build material being spread onto a build surface, build material and plate disposed in at least two zones;
- a heating element to heat build material on the plate, the heating element to heat the at least two zones independently;
- a sensor to sense a temperature of each of the at least two zones;
- and
- a controller to independently control each of the heating element based on the sensed temperature at each of the at least two zones.
