SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR INSPECTING HEIGHT AND THERMAL INFORMATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240351136 titled 'SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR INSPECTING HEIGHT AND THERMAL INFORMATION
The system described in the patent application is designed to inspect height and thermal information during additive manufacturing processes. It utilizes sensors to identify problem areas and investigate them using various data analysis methods.
- The system includes at least one processor to determine material quality and formation of porosity during additive manufacturing.
- It uses either a phase mapping sensor or a height mapping sensor to identify multiple problem areas.
- The system investigates the identified problem areas using thermal analysis, emission profile, temperature, and emissivity data.
Potential Applications: - Quality control in additive manufacturing processes - Detection of defects in 3D printed objects - Optimization of manufacturing parameters based on real-time feedback
Problems Solved: - Ensuring material quality and structural integrity in additive manufacturing - Identifying and addressing porosity issues during the manufacturing process
Benefits: - Improved quality control in additive manufacturing - Reduction of defects and waste in 3D printing - Enhanced efficiency and reliability of manufacturing processes
Commercial Applications: Title: "Advanced Inspection System for Additive Manufacturing Quality Control" This technology could be used in industries such as aerospace, automotive, and medical devices for ensuring the quality and reliability of 3D printed components.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the system determine material quality during additive manufacturing? 2. What are the advantages of using both phase mapping and height mapping sensors in this system?
