Abstract:
Additive manufacturing systems and methods for fabricating an article are provided. The additive manufacturing system may include a substrate and a layering device configured to fabricate a first layer of the article on the substrate. The layering device may include an optical beam source configured to generate an optical beam and a variable beam characteristics (VBC) fiber operably coupled with the optical beam source and configured to modify one or more beam characteristics, such as a wavelength, of the optical beam.

Claim (Index 22):
The method of  claim 18 , wherein forming the first layer of the article on the substrate comprises:\n modifying a wavelength of the optical beam from the optical beam source to produce a modified optical beam having a first wavelength in a first length of fiber of the VBC fiber; and depositing a first material to form at least a portion of the first layer of the article on the substrate with the modified optical beam.
