Problem
Metal additive manufacturing processes often lack consistency and repeatability, leading to defects in 3D-printed components and hindering their reliability in critical applications. Ensuring the quality of these parts requires comprehensive process monitoring and traceability, which is not always readily available.
Solution
Additive Assurance provides a process monitoring and quality assurance solution specifically designed for laser powder bed fusion additive manufacturing. The system uses an externally mounted sensor package that installs quickly without voiding warranties to capture high-fidelity process data. This data is then analyzed using machine learning algorithms to provide full process traceability and real-time alerts, enabling users to identify and address potential issues during the build process. The solution aims to improve the consistency and reliability of metal additive manufacturing by providing insights into machine analytics.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes manufacturers and users of laser powder bed fusion additive manufacturing technology who require enhanced quality assurance and process monitoring for metal components.
