Claim 14:
15. The additive manufacturing machine of claim 1, comprising:
a control system configured to determine one or more irradiation parameters based at least in part on data from one or more gaseous ionization detectors;
wherein the one or more irradiation parameters comprises:
an alignment or misalignment of the energy beam; and/or
a centricity of the energy beam; and/or
an inclination angle of the energy beam; and/or
a cross-sectional dimension of the energy beam; and/or

wherein the one or more irradiation parameters comprises:
a beam profile with respect to the one or more irradiation parameters of the energy beam, wherein the beam profile comprises:
a first beam plane determined from data obtained at least in part from a first one of the one or more gaseous ionization detectors, and a second beam plane determined from data obtained at least in part from a second one of the one or more gaseous ionization detectors; and/or
a three-dimensional beam domain determined from at least one of the one or more gaseous ionization detectors.
