Enhancing in-process monitoring of additive manufacturing through virtual fringe-projection simulations
-
Reliable and repeatable laser powder bed fusion systems require real-time in-process monitoring to deliver right-first-time production capability. While finding defects after the printing process is the standard procedure, to identify correlations among in-process parameters, defects and part performance remain difficult to establish.
-
By finding such correlations, we can design controlled processes capable of detecting functionally detrimental defects, in real time, through in-situ metrology. The first step to achieve real-time monitoring is to design and characterise a measuring system able to accurately measure the surface of the printed part and identify anomalies in the building part.
-
For this purpose, a multi-view optical fringe projection technology has been released using a virtual environment and its performance has compared to the real system.
