Abstract
A method, apparatus, and program for additive manufacturing. In one aspect, the method comprises: forming an at least partially solidified portion within a first scan region (), wherein the solidified portion within the first scan region () is formed by irradiating a build material along a first irradiation path (). A second portion of a build material may be irradiated along a second irradiation path (), wherein the second scan region () is offset with respect to the first scan region () thereby defining an offset region (). The offset region () is at least partially solidified by the first irradiation path () and the second irradiation path () and a reference line () intersects the first irradiation path () and the second irradiation path () within the offset region (), wherein the reference line () is substantially parallel to a side () of the first scan region ().
