Abstract
A method of additively manufacturing includes determining a track for manufacturing a layer of a component with a powder blend; traversing the track with a conditioning energy beam to cause sintering of powder particles along a denuded region within the powder blend; and traversing the track with a melting energy beam subsequent to the conditioning energy beam to from the layer of the component. An additive manufacturing system includes a build chamber that contains a powder blend; a controller operable to determine a track for manufacturing a layer of a component with the powder blend in the build chamber; a conditioning energy beam directed along the track by the controller to cause sintering of powder particles along a denuded region within the powder blend; and a melting energy beam directed along the track by the controller subsequent to the conditioning energy beam to form the layer of the component.
