Abstract
An additive manufacturing machine includes an energy unit with two energy beam sources, each with a different power level of energy beam. In addition, a build unit receives the energy beams, and a reflecting unit is positioned between the energy unit and the build unit and directs the energy beams. There is also an energy beam detector positioned on or near the build unit.
