Abstract

In one example, a fusing system for an additive manufacturing machine includes a fusing lamp to heat build material in the work area, a heat sensor to measure a heat output of the fusing lamp, and a controller operatively connected to the fusing lamp and to the heat sensor to adjust the heat output of the fusing lamp to the work area based on a heat output measured by the heat sensor.
