Original Abstract Submitted
a method for calibrating a sensor for monitoring a melt pool belonging to a system for monitoring a melt pool of an additive manufacturing machine comprises at least the following steps: measuring and recording the value of the signal transmitted by the monitoring sensor when it is not exposed to a reference radiation, exposing the monitoring sensor to the reference radiation, measuring and recording the value of the signal transmitted by this monitoring sensor when it is exposed to a reference radiation, calculating a correction coefficient for this monitoring sensor from a reference value associated with the reference radiation and the values of the signals, and recording in a correction table the correction coefficient for this monitoring sensor and the value of the signal transmitted by the monitoring sensor when it is not exposed to a reference radiation.
