Abstract
An additive manufacturing system includes a build plate; a deposition system operable to dispense material as a melt pool to grow a workpiece on the build plate; a sensor system operable to determine a temperature of the workpiece being grown on the build plate adjacent to the melt pool; and a heater system operable to selectively heat the workpiece between the melt pool and the build plate.
