1. A system comprising:
a lasing module including:
a first laser that is configured to emit a first laser beam, and
a second laser that is configured to emit a second laser beam;
a first build module including a first build area in which a first part is to be manufactured;
a second build module including a second build area in which a second part is to be manufactured; and
a conveyor configured to convey the first build module while the first laser beam is emitted to manufacture at least a first portion of the first part and to convey the second build module while the second laser beam is emitted to manufacture at least a second portion of the second part, wherein the first laser beam and the second laser beam are emitted at least partially contemporaneously.
