Abstract
Improved gas flow systems and methods for use with powder bed-based laser additive manufacturing chambers are described. The disclosed gas flow configurations and associated build chamber designs enhance the removability of laser melting emissions. In accordance with various configurations, the clear rate of generated-spatter contamination is improved by employing system designs in which the gas flow outlet is lowered toward the substrate, the gas flow inlet channel length is increased, uniform gas flow is enabled using multi-channeled pumps, and/or one or more supplementary gas inlet flows are introduced to the chamber design.
