The system includes a first laser generating a first focused laser beam having a first surface area where the first focused laser beam is directed onto a first quantity of a powder material on a substrate so as to fuse particles of the powder material in a first layer of the substrate. A second laser generating a second focused laser beam having a second surface area where the second laser beam is directed onto a second quantity of the powder material on the substrate so as to fuse particles of the powder material in the first layer of the substrate. The first surface area of the first focused laser beam is greater than the second surface area of the second focused laser beam.

    Abstract: A system for forming a passage in an airfoil includes a liquid-jet guided laser that generates a laser beam confined within a fluid column, and a purge medium supply that is fluidly coupled to an aperture of the airfoil. A purge medium flows from the purge medium supply in a flow direction that is substantially parallel to an inner surface of the inner cavity. A controller is configured to direct the liquid-jet guided laser to cut a first passage through the outer surface. A centerline of the passage forms an acute angle with respect to the purge medium flow direction. The first passage is formed at a first radial position that is radially distal to the aperture. A method for forming passages in an airfoil using the system described herein is also disclosed.
