Abstract:
An additive manufacturing system wherein a gentle sintering run on heat-fusible particles is followed closely by a selective laser melting run. The laser sintering run slightly sinters the particles and causes the particles to adhere to each other, but not necessarily deform and lose their original shape. The particles become connected via bridges between each other, which holds them in place. During the laser melting run, the powder melts in place, with minimum particle ejection or mobility, since the particles form a network of connected particles.

Claim (Index 3):
The method of additive manufacturing for producing a product of  claim 1  comprising the step of providing a substrate and wherein said step of implementing a sintering run comprises implementing a sintering run that causes said heat-fusible powder particles to adhere to said substrate.
