Abstract

See full text

An electrophotography-based additive manufacturing system is used to print a three-dimensional part. An electrophotography engine is used to print a part layer of the three-dimensional part is using a part material compositionally including part material particles. The developed part layer is transferred from the electrophotography engine to a transfer medium, and the transferred part layer is transfused together to previously-printed layers using a layer transfusion assembly. A surface height profile of the transfused part layers is measured using a surface profilometer, and a thickness profile of a subsequently-printed part layer is controlled responsive to the measured surface height profile.
