Summary:Three-dimensional printing/digital or additive manufacturing is an area that is taking off with considerable rapidity and magnitude. In the same time, non-destructive evaluation (NDE) is playing an important role in the acceptance of additively manufactured parts, in order to provide the required confidence in the quality of the part and its expected safety and performance while in service. This article represents a summary addressing the subject of applicable NDE techniques to detect manufacturing anomalies and service-induced flaws. The topic is relatively new, attracting much research attention and funding, while in the meantime manufacturing processes are continuously improving. The number of publications covering additive manufacturing is increasing exponentially, and everyday new articles, conferences, and workshops are bringing out new information.
