Abstract
Certain examples described herein relate to a carriage assembly for an additive manufacturing system. The carriage assembly comprises a movable carriage to move over a build zone of the additive manufacturing system, a thermal sensor device on the carriage to obtain thermal data associated with a region of build material in the build zone, radiation device on the carriage to apply radiation onto the build material. The radiation device is configurable between a preheating mode, to apply radiation onto the region of build material to raise a surface temperature thereof, and a fusing mode, to apply radiation onto the region of build material to selectively fuse at least part of the region of build material.
