1. A method comprising:
adjusting an energy source of an additive manufacture system to a first energy level;
after the energy source has been adjusted to the first energy level, using the additive manufacturing system to form a first object in a build chamber of the additive manufacturing system, by repeatedly applying first layers of build material and fusing the first layers by supplying energy from energy source at the first energy level, the first layers forming the first object;
adjusting the energy source to a second energy level different than the first energy level; and
after the energy source has been adjusted to the second energy level, using the additive manufacturing system to form a second object in the build chamber, by repeatedly applying second layers of build material on top of the first object and fusing the second layers by supplying energy from the energy source at the second energy level, the second layers forming the second object.
