Claim 0:
1. A system for additively manufacturing three-dimensional objects, the system comprising:
an additive manufacturing machine comprising an irradiation device configured to selectively melt and/or sinter sequential layers of construction material to form a component;
a sensor apparatus configured to detect sensor values corresponding to melting and/or sintering characteristics of the construction material by the irradiation device;
a processor; and
a memory storage, the memory storage comprising computer-executable instructions, which when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
determine sensor values corresponding to melting and/or sintering characteristics detected by the sensor apparatus when the irradiation device selectively melts and/or sinters the sequential layers of construction material to form the component, the sensor values being spatially localized with respect to coordinates of the component;
determine a localized quality for one or more load bearing areas and/or critical load areas of the component being additively manufactured in the additive manufacturing machine, the one or more load bearing areas and/or critical load areas defined at least in part by spatially localized load and flux information, the localized quality determined based at least in part on sensor values having a spatial location corresponding to the one or more load bearing areas and/or critical load areas of the component; and
classify the component while being additively manufactured with respect to overall quality based at least in part on the localized quality for the one or more load bearing areas and/or critical load areas of the component;
wherein classifying the component with respect to overall quality comprises determining that one or more sensor values indicating an actual or potential negative localized quality are spatially localized to an area having a defined distance from the one or more load bearing areas and/or critical load areas, wherein the defined distance depends on a safety classification of the component.
