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 21):
A method of printing of a three-dimensional object, comprising:\n (a) directing an energy beam to irradiate a calibration structure to generate a returning radiation from the calibration structure that comprises an identifiable border, wherein the energy beam forms a footprint on the calibration structure, wherein the returning radiation is emanating from the footprint, which energy beam is transforming a pre-transformed material to a transformed material during the printing of the three-dimensional object; (b) translating the energy beam across the identifiable border; (c) detecting the returning radiation from the calibration structure during translation of the energy beam across the identifiable border; (d) evaluating a deviation between the returning radiation and a target returning radiation value; and (e) using the deviation to control at least one characteristic of the energy beam for the printing.
