Abstract:
The present disclosure provides various apparatuses, systems, software, and methods for three-dimensional (3D) printing. The disclosure delineates various optical components of the 3D printing system, their usage, and their optional calibration. The disclosure delineates calibration of one or more components of the 3D printer (e.g., the energy beam).

Claim (Index 18):
A method for printing a three-dimensional object, comprising:\n (a) using an energy source to generate an energy beam directed through an optical path towards a target surface, which optical path comprises one or more optical elements, which energy source has a nominal power; and (b) transforming a pre-transformed material to a transformed material to print the three-dimensional object, wherein the one or more optical elements are configured to experience insignificant thermal lensing during formation of at least 1000 cubic centimeters of transformed material, which insignificant thermal lensing comprises at least a 30 second irradiation of the energy beam through the one or more optical elements, with a power density of the energy beam at the nominal power that diminishes by at most about 10 percent relative to the power density at a beginning of the 30 second irradiation, which power density is measured at the target surface.
