Figure 8From: A greedy algorithm for optimal heating in powder-bed-based additive manufacturingA comparison between maximum temperatures in the cross-section \(x = 2.5\text{ mm}\) before optimization (top) and after optimization. Initially, the melt area increases for each hatch line since the heat influx is larger than the rate of diffusion. The optimization scheme resolves this issue and makes the area more uniform.Back to article page
