Capabilities and limitations of commercial LPBF monitoring systems for quality and performance assessment

What value do monitoring data offer for the production of turbomachinery parts using LPBF?

Challenge and Motivation

  • Through monitoring systems, large amounts of data are generated in the industrial application of LPBF.
  • Different monitoring systems detect different types of artefacts.

Objective

  • Identification of utilization potential of monitoring data to produce turbomachinery parts via LPBF.
  • Systematic comparison of monitoring signals from optical tomography (OT) and coaxial photo diode.
