Claim 17:
18. A method of additively manufacturing a three-dimensional object, the method comprising:
determining an irradiation setting using an irradiation control model, wherein the irradiation control model is configured to determine the irradiation setting based at least in part on a power density factor and/or an irradiation vector factor;
outputting an irradiation control command to an energy beam system based at least in part on the irradiation setting, wherein the irradiation control command is configured to change one or more irradiation parameters for additively manufacturing a three-dimensional object; and
directing an energy beam onto a build plane according to a scanning vector based at least in part on the irradiation control command, wherein the power density factor and/or the irradiation vector factor are based at least in part on a position of a beam spot from the energy beam relative to a normal point on the build plane.
