Abstract

Systems and methods resolve stresses in additive manufacturing. A stress resolution profile including frequency and amplitude parameters of an ultrasonic input are determined based on physical properties of the product. Successive layers of a material are added and energy is applied to incorporate the material of each layer into the product. An ultrasonic input is applied with the determined parameters to resolve stress as the product is built up. The ultrasonic input is varied as a depth of the material incorporated into the product increases.
