Systems and methods for additive manufacturing are described. In some embodiments, a method of controlling the one or more laser energy sources of an additive manufacturing system may be based at least in part on a scan angle and/or desired energy density. Systems and methods for controlling melt pool spacing are also described.

Angled scanning of laser arrays in additive manufacturing

Laser control systems and related methods for controlling arrays of lasers are disclosed. A laser control system may include a first controller configured to generate a trigger signal based on a position of a laser array, and a second controller configured to send a firing signal to one or more lasers of the laser array upon receiving the trigger signal. The one or more lasers may be selected based on a desired pattern of laser energy to be formed at a particular position of the laser array.
