Multi-Parameter Inspection Apparatus for Monitoring of Manufacturing Parts - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240342804 titled 'Multi-Parameter Inspection Apparatus for Monitoring of Manufacturing Parts
The abstract describes a real-time non-destructive evaluation technique for additive manufacturing to detect defects as parts are being produced, ensuring high quality.
- In-situ inspection unit added to existing additive manufacturing tools provides real-time information on part quality and detects flaws as they occur.
- Information from the unit is used to qualify parts as they are made and provide feedback for correction or process stoppage if needed.
- Saves time, energy, and reduces material loss by ensuring parts meet quality standards during production.
Potential Applications: - Quality control in additive manufacturing processes - Real-time defect detection in 3D printing and metal sintering - Improving efficiency and reducing waste in manufacturing operations
Problems Solved: - Ensuring high-quality parts are produced in additive manufacturing - Detecting defects early in the production process - Saving time and resources by preventing the production of faulty parts
Benefits: - Improved quality control in additive manufacturing - Cost savings from reduced material waste - Increased efficiency in production processes
Commercial Applications: Title: Real-Time Quality Control System for Additive Manufacturing This technology can be used in industries such as aerospace, automotive, and medical devices to ensure the production of high-quality parts with minimal waste.
Questions about Additive Manufacturing: 1. How does real-time defect detection improve the quality of additive manufacturing parts? Real-time defect detection allows for immediate feedback and correction during the production process, ensuring that only high-quality parts are manufactured.
2. What are the potential cost savings associated with implementing a real-time inspection unit in additive manufacturing? By detecting defects early and preventing the production of faulty parts, companies can save money on materials and resources, ultimately improving their bottom line.
Original Abstract Submitted
additive manufacturing, such as laser sintering or melting of additive layers, can produce parts rapidly at small volume and in a factory setting. to ensure the additive manufactured parts are of high quality, a real-time non-destructive evaluation (nde) technique is required to detect defects while they are being manufactured. the present invention describes an in-situ (real-time) inspection unit that can be added to an existing additive manufacturing (am) tool, such as an fdm (fused deposition modeling) machine, or a direct metal laser sintering (dmls) machine, providing real-time information about the part quality, and detecting flaws as they occur. the information provided by this unit is used to a) qualify the part as it is being made, and b) to provide feedback to the am tool for correction, or to stop the process if the part will not meet the quality, thus saving time, energy and reduce material loss.
