Problem
In additive manufacturing, undetected defects during the printing process lead to wasted materials, increased lead times, and inconsistent part quality. Current inspection methods often rely on post-production analysis, which is time-consuming and costly, hindering the ability to make real-time adjustments.
Solution
Phase3D offers real-time inspection technology for additive manufacturing, enabling immediate detection of anomalies during the printing process. By using structured light, the system creates objective heightmaps of each printed layer, allowing for precise identification of defects in quantifiable units. This approach allows manufacturers to monitor operations, make informed decisions early, and record defects, ultimately saving production time and ensuring part quality. The hardware and software solution attaches to any printer, scans at any scale, and provides data to address changes with strategic precision.
