Disclosed are a mass transfer device and a mass transfer method. The mass transfer device includes a laser (100), a coupling unit (200), an optical fiber (300), a ceramic ferrule (400), and a coaxial focusing structure (500) which are sequentially connected. A laser light output by the laser (100) is coupled into the optical fiber (300) through the coupling unit (200). The coaxial focusing structure (500) is fixed to an end of the ceramic ferrule (400). An end of the optical fiber (300) is inserted into the ceramic ferrule (400).

Methods and systems for operating a machine, the machine includes moveable axes and an apparatus for emitting an energy beam. A method includes the steps of providing a computing device or system; providing, the computing device or system, a program for operating the axes of the machine based on a CAD file, the program having a plurality of controller instructions for operating the axes; and providing the program to a controller of the machine. The computing device or system adds apparatus instructions to the program, each apparatus instruction corresponding to an energy beam radiation configuration of energy beam radiation configurations for the apparatus. Each time the controller runs a line of the program that has an apparatus instruction, the computing device or system operates the apparatus according to the apparatus instruction; and each apparatus instruction added to the program is a comment for the controller.
