Methods and systems for using a photosintering system to sinter one or more paint layers for a paint circuit. In one aspect, a photosintering system includes a photosintering device including a light source and multiple proximity sensors, a data communication link, and one or more processors in data communication with the photosintering device over the data communication link, and is operable to perform the operations of obtaining an image of a sintering area, generating a grid of the sintering area including multiple sub-areas, for each sub-area of the multiple sub-areas: determining a fractional sintering energy for the sub-area, indicating how to position a photosintering device relative to the sub-area, obtaining current positional information for the photosintering device, determining an exposure sintering energy for the particular sub-area, and triggering exposure of the exposure sintering energy. |
