Application: Additive manufacturing method, additive manufacturing apparatus, and program for manufacturing additively manufactured article (Patent ID: US20240181549A1)
The patent filed by Kobe Steel Ltd. describes an additively manufacturing method that involves measuring the filler metal feed speed, acquiring a reference welding speed based on this feed speed, measuring the height of the formed weld bead, and adjusting the welding speed to ensure the correct height of the weld bead. The method aims to improve the accuracy and quality of the additively manufactured object by adjusting the welding speed based on the measured parameters.
Additionally, the patent includes claims related to setting the reference welding speed to reduce the difference between planned and estimated heights of the weld bead, acquiring the height difference from the average height of the weld bead in the same layer, and setting the welding speed correction value to reduce the difference between planned and actual heights of the weld bead. These claims highlight the focus on optimizing the welding process to achieve the desired dimensions and quality of the additively manufactured object.
