A processing system includes: a processing apparatus for processing an object; a rotation apparatus for rotating a holding part holding the object; a movement apparatus for moving at least one of the processing apparatus and the holding part; a measurement apparatus for measuring at least a part of the object held by the holding part; and a control apparatus for controlling the movement apparatus and the rotation apparatus based on a measured result by the measurement apparatus to rotate the holding part and to move at least one of the processing apparatus and the holding part

An apparatus and a method for fabricating a magnetic material with variable magnetic alignment are disclosed. For example, the apparatus includes a reservoir storing magnetic particles, a heater coupled to the reservoir to melt the magnetic particles, a nozzle coupled to the reservoir to receive the magnetic particles that are melted, wherein the nozzle includes a rotatable collar that includes at least one magnet, a platform below the nozzle to receive the magnetic particles that are melted that are dispensed by the nozzle, and a controller communicatively coupled to the heater, the nozzle, and the platform to control operation of the heater, the nozzle, the rotatable collar of the nozzle, and the platform.

A 3D printing system uses heat sources, such as lasers, for manufacturing parts in metal additive manufacturing, such as powder-bed fusion, on one or more movable build modules. The build modules may be moved (e.g., by a conveyor system) into and out of a lasing module. Parts may be manufactured on multiple build modules simultaneously and/or sequentially, in some cases while the build module(s) are moving relative to the heat sources. Sensor(s) are arranged to determine a position, orientation, and/or movement of the build modules and feedback from the sensor(s) may be used to control the heat sources to compensate for motion of the build modules.

A process for additive manufacturing of a metal alloy material is provided that includes: a) providing a feedstock powder comprising base powder particles with nanoparticles attached to surfaces of the base powder particles; b) providing an additive manufacturing system with a laser power source relatively movable at a scan speed; c) wherein the additive manufacturing system has a process window for the feedstock powder; and d) exposing the feedstock powder to a predetermined power input from the laser power source at a predetermined scan speed to produce the metal alloy material. The concentration by volume of nanoparticles within the feedstock powder is such that independent first and second microstructures may be produced within the metal alloy material.
