Abstract: A system for diagnosing an additive manufacturing device is provided. The system includes one or more processors, one or more non-transitory memory modules communicatively coupled to the one or more processors and storing machine-readable instructions. The machine-readable instructions, when executed, cause the one or more processors to: determine parameters associated with at least one subsystem of the additive manufacturing device, the parameters being related to a build generated by the additive manufacturing device; compare the parameters with threshold values; and determine a failure mode, among a plurality of failure modes, associated with a subsystem of the at least one subsystem of the additive manufacturing device based on the comparison of the parameters with the threshold values.

Abstract: Systems, apparatus, computer-readable medium, and associated methods to monitor, analyze, and adjust at least one of 1) additive machine health and configuration or 2) build health and configuration are disclosed. An example apparatus includes an analytics processor, separate from and in a trusted relationship with an additive manufacturing machine building a part, to process, based on a trigger, data from monitoring of the additive manufacturing machine and the build of the part, the analytics processor including a hybrid model fusing additive process physics and data science to process the data to identify an abnormality in at least one of the build or the additive manufacturing machine and to adjust a configuration of the additive manufacturing machine during the build to address the abnormality.

Abstract: Systems, apparatus, and methods for weld tapering at a trailing edge using time multiplexing are disclosed. Systems, apparatus, and methods for control of an electron beam for welding using time multiplexing are disclosed. An example apparatus includes memory and at least one processor to execute instructions to at least: in a first portion of a line of an object being formed, control an energy beam at a first position at a first time to form a weld from a powder; and in a second portion of a line of the object being formed, control the energy beam to perform a dispersion sweep at a second position at a second time.
