Abstract
A processing apparatus is a processing apparatus that performs a process for irradiating an object with an energy beam, the processing apparatus is provided with: an energy beam irradiation apparatus that irradiates at least a part of a surface of the object with the energy beam; and a position change apparatus that changes an irradiation position of the energy beam at the surface of the object, the processing apparatus controls the irradiation position of the energy beam by using a shape information relating to a shape of the object.
Claims12
A processing apparatus that performs a process on a build object by irradiating the build object, which is built by an additive layer manufacturing using a build energy beam, with a processing energy beam, wherein
- the build object includes a plurality of structural layers, and
- an irradiation area of the processing energy beam is distributed over the plurality of structural layers.
A build method that performs building on a surface of an object by:
- irradiating the surface of the object with an energy beam to melt the surface of the object, thereby forming a melt pool;
- supplying a build material to the melt pool;
- and
- re-irradiating the surface with the energy beam after the supplying to thereby re-melt the surface.
