Abstract
A method for adjusting laser control parameters of a laser additive manufacturing system for construction of a part is provided. The method may include performing a laser scan of a building surface, and detecting spectral and intensity response information indicative of at least a temperature at the building surface. The method may also include correlating the spectral and intensity response information with spatial positioning of the laser during the laser scan to generate spatially-correlated spectral and intensity response information. Additionally, the method may include generating a spatial adjustment mask based on the spatially-correlated spectral and intensity response information and a target spatial intensity profile, applying the spatial adjustment mask to spatially-defined laser control parameters, and controlling the laser to perform an additive manufacturing build operation performed in accordance with the target spatial intensity profile due to application of the spatial adjustment mask to construct the part.
