Aim: To advance in situ quality assurance for additively manufactured lattice structures using eddy current and resistance measurements, enabling precise defect detection and compliance with industry standards.
Brief description: This project, led by AMiquam, focuses on enhancing quality assurance in Powder Bed Fusion-Laser Beam (PBF-LB/M) systems by integrating eddy current sensors with node-to-node resistance measurements. By modeling lattice structures as electrical circuits, the initiative aims to infer the structural integrity and performance of microstructures. The approach combines theoretical frameworks, hybrid measurement techniques, and advanced algorithms to detect and localize defects efficiently.
Benefits: The project improves real-time defect detection in additively manufactured lattices, optimizing production quality and reducing material waste. The hybrid approach ensures compliance with ISO/ASTM standards, enhances the reliability of components, and supports the broader adoption of advanced manufacturing techniques in industries requiring high precision, such as aerospace and medical devices.
