  • Publication number: 20250083393
    Abstract: A system for additive manufacturing a component includes the component configured to be additively manufactured using powder bed fusion. The component includes a first geometry that is different than a second geometry, and the first geometry and the second geometry are configured to create a thermal gradient along the component. The system includes a thermal management structure defined proximate the component. The thermal management structure has a first structure geometry that is different than a second structure geometry. The first structure geometry is defined proximate the first geometry and the second structure geometry is defined proximate the second geometry. The thermal management structure is configured to be additively manufactured with the component substantially simultaneously to reduce the thermal gradient along the component.
