Claim 13:
14. An additive manufacturing system comprising:
a build material disposed across a build plane;
an energy source arranged to fuse at least a portion of the build material;
a sensor arranged to detect energy emitted from the build plane; and
a processor configured to:
divide at least a portion of the build plane into a plurality of grid regions;
receive data from the sensor while the build material is fused by the energy source;
determine an area of each grid region of the plurality of grid regions; and
calculate a thermal energy density of each grid region of the plurality of grid regions, wherein the thermal energy density is calculated based on the data received from the sensor and the area of each grid region of the plurality of grid regions.
