More Information
Summary:A method for inspection and assessment of 3D manufactured parts and operational performance of a 3D manufacturing apparatus is provided. The method includes the step of obtaining, in real-time during a 3D printing build process in which at least one structure or part is built by the 3D manufacturing apparatus, an electro-magnetic scan of an area of a build platform on which the at least one structure is built. An evaluating step evaluates, by a processor, the electro-magnetic scan. A determining step determines, based on the evaluating step, whether an operational flaw with the 3D manufacturing apparatus has occurred.
