Engineered optics are an important aspect of the evolution of laser additive manufacturing (LAM) where they play a critical role in enabling higher print speeds and resolution. Historically, the use of off-the-shelf optics came with performance trade-offs that offered limited design options to manufacturers. With increasingly complex part geometries and the need to print finer features with and higher density using high power lasers, novel optical designs will play a vital part in advancing LAM technology. This paper will discuss optical design considerations for LAM and will provide an introduction to advances in optics that enable the next generation of high-power LAM printers.
