Abstract:
A method of making a three-dimensional object. The method comprises: a) positioning a layer of particles over a build plate; b) exposing the layer of particles to a first laser beam having a first set of beam characteristics, thereby heating the layer sufficiently to fuse at least a portion of the particles together to form a build layer; c) exposing a first region of one of i) the layer of particles or ii) the build layer to a second laser beam having a second set of beam characteristics to provide a first temperature profile for the first region; and d) exposing a second region of one of i) the layer of particles or ii) the build layer to a third laser beam having a third set of beam characteristics to provide a second temperature profile for the second region, the second temperature profile being different than the first temperature profile, wherein both the first region and the second region are in the layer of particles or both the first region and the second region are in the build layer.

Claim (Index 16):
The method of  claim 1 , further comprising:\n d) positioning an additional layer of particles on the build layer; e) exposing the additional layer of particles to a fourth laser beam having a fourth set of beam characteristics, thereby heating the additional layer of particles sufficiently to fuse the particles together to form a second build layer; f) exposing a third region of one of the additional layer of particles or the second build layer to a fifth laser beam having a fifth set of beam characteristics to provide a third temperature profile for the third region; and g) exposing a fourth region of one of the additional layer of particles or the second build layer to a sixth laser beam having a sixth set of beam characteristics to provide a fourth temperature profile for the fourth region, the fourth temperature profile being different than the third temperature profile, wherein both the third region and the fourth region are in the additional layer of particles or both the third region and the fourth region are in the second build layer; h) repeating d), e), optionally f) and optionally g) one or more times to form a three-dimensional object.
