Claim 6:
7. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 1, wherein the computer-executable instructions, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to further perform the method of additively manufacturing a three-dimensional object, the method further comprising:
determining the irradiation setting based at least in part on one or more model inputs to the irradiation control model, wherein the one or more model inputs comprises a scanner position and a build plane elevation; and
directing the energy beam onto the build plane according to the scanning vector based at least in part on the irradiation control command, wherein the irradiation control command pertains to beam power, spot size, scan velocity, and/or focal point, and wherein the irradiation control command and/or at least one of the one or more model inputs are determined in real-time; or
directing the energy beam onto the build plane according to the scanning vector based at least in part on an additional irradiation control command, wherein the additional irradiation control command pertains to beam profile, beam offset, and/or beam path, and wherein the additional irradiation control command and/or at least one of the one or more model inputs are determined prior to commencing to irradiate a layer of a powder bed defining the build plane and/or prior to commencing additively manufacturing a three-dimensional object.
