Additive manufacturing apparatus and method
This invention concerns an additive manufacturing apparatus and corresponding method for building an object by layerwise consolidation of material. The apparatus comprising a build enclosure 101 containing a build support 102 for supporting the object during the build, a material source for providing material to selected locations for consolidation, a radiation device 105,106 for generating and directing radiation to consolidate the material at the selected locations and an acoustic sensing system 191, 192, 193, 194. The acoustic sensing system may be arranged to detect acoustic signals generated in the build enclosure by consolidation of the material with the radiation. The acoustic sensing system may be a passive acoustic sensing system arranged to detect acoustic signals generated in the build enclosure that are indicative of at least one condition of the building process and/or the object.
