Methods of simulating additively manufacturing an object may include generating a simulated additively manufactured object based at least in part on a plurality of approximate consolidation domains that respectively correspond to a plurality of consolidation tracks determined from one or more digital representations of an additively manufactured object, and determining a predictive inference with respect to one or more material properties of the object to be additively manufactured based at least in part on the simulated additively manufactured object. Methods may include generating, for an object to be additively manufactured, a CAD file and/or a build file based at least in part on a simulated additively manufactured object and/or based at least in part on one or more predictive inferences with respect to one or more material properties of the object to be additively manufactured. An object may be additively manufactured based at least in part on a simulated additively manufactured object and/or a CAD file and/or the build file corresponding thereto.

Additive manufacturing simulations

Build material application device () for an apparatus () for additively manufacturing at least one three-dimensional object () by means of successive layerwise selective irradiation and consolidation of layers of build material () which can be consolidated by means of at least one energy beam (), the build material application device () comprising: &#x2014;at least one build material application element () configured to apply an amount of build material () in a build plane (E) of a respective apparatus () for additively manufacturing at least one three-dimensional object (); &#x2014;at least one spatter removal element () configured to remove spatters () present in a layer of build material () of a respective apparatus () for additively manufacturing a three-dimensional object (), particularly to remove spatters () originating from a selective irradiation of the respective layer of build material ().
