Multi-beam additive manufacturing operates in a process regime distinctly different from the conventional single point keyhole regime. During the first phase of the project the aim will be to obtain greater understanding of the physical mechanisms (gas flow, sintering etc.) and heat transfer where lasers or operated in both parallel and serial manner. The advantages and disadvantages will be assessed in relation to build rate and density. During the remainder of the programme the project brief will be extended to determine if the tools generated for the assessment of the process (or alternative solutions) can be used for real time monitoring of the process or post process QA.
