Couple the additive manufacturing process with X-ray computed Tomography and keep under control each steps of the AM parts’ life-cycle
A recurring issue with 3D printed components is the lack of repeatability and reproducibility in the manufacturing process. Computed tomography contributes with useful data to the manufacturing process improvement.
The use of computed tomography on the printing process is not limited to the manufactured product, it is also used at various scales: It is no longer a question of characterizing only the part but also the manufacturing process, taking into account the greatest number of AM parameters with the objective of determining the optimum parameters to produce the best quality parts: from the powder to the final part.
