Abstract
Systems for cure control of additive manufacturing comprise a build volume, a curing energy source, and a controller. The curing energy source is configured to actively deliver curing energy to discrete sections of a part as it is being additively manufactured. The controller is programmed to direct delivery of curing energy to impart desired cure properties to the discrete sections and/or according to predetermined cure profiles for the discrete sections. Methods of additively manufacturing a part comprise additively building a part from a feedstock material, and actively curing discrete sections of the part as it is being additively built to impart desired cure properties to the part and/or desired cure profiles to the part.
