Abstract
A method for forming a three-dimensional article comprising the steps of: applying a model of the three dimensional article, applying a first powder layer on a work table, directing a first electron beam from a first electron beam source over the work table causing the first powder layer to fuse in first selected locations according to the model to form a first cross section of the three-dimensional article, directing a second electron beam from a second electron beam source over the work table, registering at least one setting of the first electron beam source, registering at least one setting of the second electron beam source, correcting the position of the second electron beam depending on the at least one setting of the first electron beam source and the at least one setting of the second electron beam source.
