Detection of Defects in Additive Manufacturing

Detection of voids and phase/elemental analysis of 3D additive parts to guarantee and improve quality.

To guarantee certification and industrial acceptance of 3D parts, it is essential to define their structure and defects. Defect definition would be highly valuable to dynamically improve part quality. Diverse methods including back scattered x-rays will be investigated.
