Abstract
Methods of additively manufacturing a manufactured component and systems that perform the methods. The methods include determining an energy application parameter at an addition location on a previously formed portion of the manufactured component. The energy application parameter includes an intersection area relationship that describes an area of intersection between the previously formed portion and a surface of a virtual geometric shape, which is positioned at the addition location, as a function of a size parameter of the virtual geometric shape. The methods also include supplying a feedstock material to the addition location. The methods further include delivering an amount of energy sufficient to form a melt pool of the feedstock material at the addition location. The amount of energy is based, at least in part, on the energy application parameter. The methods also include consolidating the melt pool with a previously formed portion of the manufactured component.
