Abstract

See full text

The present disclosure relates to the prediction of part and material quality of Additive Manufacturing (AM) processes using layer based images. Described herein are methods and systems for detection of errors in parts built by AM processes such as Selective Laser Melting (SLM). The detection comprises analysis of optical images to identify errors which appear in layers during the AM build process. Errors include but are not limited to warpage of parts and dross formation of overhang surfaces.
