Abstract
We describe a system for use in an apparatus for producing a three-dimensional workpiece using an additive layer manufacturing technique, the system comprising: an irradiation unit configured to selectively irradiate an irradiation plane with an irradiation beam, and a control unit coupled to the irradiation unit and configured to control the irradiation unit to modulate, as a function of a local process parameter when producing the three-dimensional workpiece, an irradiation beam property of the irradiation beam.
