OCT Improves Process Stability During Laser Metal Deposition

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
Researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Production Technology IPT, in collaboration with five industry partners, have equipped a laser metal deposition (LMD) system with an OCT system. The combination mechanism enabled the scientists to successfully record the welding process in progress, and made it possible to control the quality and process during use, which reduces scrap. Systems for machine-integrated monitoring are traditionally used in LMD to detect and address abnormalities and deviations without delay to prevent interrupting the process. These systems can check the process...Read full article

    additive manufacturing
    Additive manufacturing (AM), also known as 3D printing, is a manufacturing process that involves creating three-dimensional objects by adding material layer by layer. This is in contrast to traditional manufacturing methods, which often involve subtracting or forming materials to achieve the desired shape. In additive manufacturing, a digital model of the object is created using computer-aided design (CAD) software, and this digital model is then sliced into thin cross-sectional layers. The...
    metrology
    Metrology is the science and practice of measurement. It encompasses the theoretical and practical aspects of measurement, including the development of measurement standards, techniques, and instruments, as well as the application of measurement principles in various fields. The primary objectives of metrology are to ensure accuracy, reliability, and consistency in measurements and to establish traceability to recognized standards. Metrology plays a crucial role in science, industry,...
    3d printing
    3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing (AM), is a manufacturing process that builds three-dimensional objects layer by layer from a digital model. This technology allows the creation of complex and customized structures that would be challenging or impossible with traditional manufacturing methods. The process typically involves the following key steps: Digital design: A three-dimensional digital model of the object is created using computer-aided design (CAD) software. This...
