Abstract
Provided is a method for forming a three dimensional article comprising the steps of: providing at least one electron beam source emitting an electron beam for at least one of heating or fusing said powder material, where said electron beam source comprises a cathode, an anode, and a grid between said cathode and anode; controlling the electron beam source in at least two modes during said formation of said three dimensional article; applying a predetermined accelerator voltage between said cathode and said anode; applying a predetermined number of different grid voltages between said grid and said cathode for producing a corresponding predetermined number of electron beam currents; and at least one of creating or updating a look-up table or mathematical function during one of the at least two modes, wherein said look-up table or mathematical function defines a relationship between a desired electron beam current and an applied grid voltage.
