  • Additive manufacture from machined surface
    Patent number: 10207325
    Abstract: A method of additive manufacturing includes building a component having a top surface, attaching the component to a powder bed fusion plate that receives the component, filling the powder bed fusion chamber so the powder is flush with the top surface of the component, and adding a first layer of powdered metal level with the top surface of the component. The method of additive manufacturing also includes fusing the first layer of powdered metal to the top surface of the component to create a fusion joint, and building up an additively manufactured body from the top surface of the component in subsequent layers.
