Abstract
Devices, systems and methods for calibrating and operating an additive manufacturing system are disclosed. A calibration system for an electron beam additive manufacturing system having a plurality of electron beam guns includes a calibration probe positioned in a build chamber of the electron beam additive manufacturing system, a sensing device positioned to measure and acquire a response generated as a result of impingement of electron beams emitted from the plurality of electron beam guns on the calibration probe, the sensing device generating a response signal as a result of the measured and acquired response, and an analysis component communicatively coupled to the sensing device and programmed to analyze and evaluate the response signal.
