Abstract
A module for an additive manufacturing apparatus including more than one optical train, each optical train providing a route for a laser beam to pass through the module and including steering optics for steering the laser beam towards the material to be consolidated as part of a layer-by-layer additive manufacturing process. The module is configured to deliver laser beams from the more than one optical trains through a single window in a build chamber of the additive manufacturing apparatus.
