  • Publication number: 20240383208
    Abstract: In one example in accordance with the present disclosure, an additive manufacturing system is described. The additive manufacturing system includes a bed moveable in a vertical direction. The bed is to receive a build material that is to form a three-dimensional (3D) printed object. The additive manufacturing system also includes a build material depositor to deposit the build material on the bed and a build material spreader to traverse across the bed to spread the build material. The additive manufacturing system also includes a solidification system to selectively solidify a layer of build material. The additive manufacturing system also includes a controller. The controller is to lower the bed by a first amount in preparation for receiving build material and iteratively raise the bed in increments in between passes of the build material spreader across the bed, wherein an increment is a portion of the first amount.

  • Publication number: 20240367384
    Abstract: In one example in accordance with the present disclosure, an additive manufacturing system is described. The additive manufacturing system includes an agent distribution device to selectively deposit an agent onto a layer of build material to form a layer of a three-dimensional (3D) object. The additive manufacturing system also includes a carriage to transport the agent distribution device across the layer of build material. The additive manufacturing system also includes an array of build material thermal sensors disposed on the carriage and facing the layer of build material. Each build material thermal sensor is to measure a temperature of the layer of build material in a particular region. A controller adjusts additive manufacturing based on an output of an associated build material thermal sensor.
