  • MANUFACTURING METHOD, MANUFACTURING SYSTEM, AND MANUFACTURING PROGRAM FOR ADDITIVE MANUFACTURED OBJECT
    Publication number: 20190381595
    Abstract: A welding robot (20) forms a laminate-molded object (11) by forming and laminating a melt bead (61) of each layer (L1 to Lk) so that a height (hnow) of the melt bead (61) of each layer (L1 to Lk) is within a range of a tolerance (?) with respect to a planned height (hk). When the height (hnow) of the melt bead (61) is lower than a value obtained by subtracting the tolerance (?) from the planned height (hk), the welding robot (20) forms another melt bead (61a) over the melt bead (61). When the height (hnow) of the melt bead (61) is higher than a value obtained by adding the tolerance (?) to the planned height (hk), the melt bead (61) is removed by a cutting robot (30).
