Abstract
A system and method of three-dimensional printing that includes heating a portion of a build surface by impinging multiple laser pulses onto the build surface in a time controlled pattern to provide a desired heated build surface prior to depositing a molten material onto the build surface. The time controlled pattern of laser pulses includes at least one heating period and at least one cooling period, and the time for the cooling period is determined by the cooling time of the build surface material, and the temperature differences between the original temperature of the build surface and the desired temperature of the build surface material.
