More Information
Summary:The present disclosure generally relates to additive manufacturing or printing of an object using parallel processing of files comprising 3D models of the object and/or portions thereof. A master file comprising a 3D model of the object is divided into subordinate files, wherein each subordinate file comprises a 3D model of a corresponding portion of the object. Each subordinate file is processed in parallel, controlling at least a first laser source to fabricate each portion from a build material. Parallel processing according to the methods of the present disclosure expedites additive manufacturing or printing over conventional methods that build an object in layers completed in series.
