Abstract
A method of making an article is disclosed involving determining a plurality of patterns of discrete sections for a plurality of layers of fusible material. According to the method, the patterns are determined having section boundaries that avoid alignment with section boundaries of other layer patterns among the plurality of patterns according to criteria specified for the article. Layers of fusible material are repeatedly fused with an energy beam applied in a scanning pattern to each of the discrete sections sequentially for each of the plurality of patterns in the plurality of layers.
