Ensuring Build Consistency in Serial AM Production with Fringe Inspection™
One of Phase3D’s customers, a serial production manufacturer, faced persistent challenges achieving consistent part quality. Despite maintaining tightly controlled production settings, including the same machine, part geometry, built layouts, print parameters, and build files, part quality varied unpredictably from run...
Eliminating the Risks of Visual Image Analysis in Additive Manufacturing with Fringe Inspection™
One of our customers, a leading supplier of critical parts using additive manufacturing (AM), faced a critical challenge in their quality assurance workflow. Previously, one of their quality assurance requirements involved an engineer to manually review every image of each...
In additive manufacturing, even minor inconsistencies can lead to costly part failures. One aerospace prime in the U.S. faced a frustrating qualification issue with a laser powder bed fusion(L-PBF) component printed on an EOS M270. Despite multiple attempts, parts were...
Examining Recoater Damage: How Alloyed is Addressing the Challenge
Phase3D is working with commercial part manufacturer, Alloyed in the UK, to characterize part and build quality and determine how anomalies in a build cause defects in a part using the Fringe in-situ inspection system. One uncovered trend for metal powder bed fusion (PBF) is recoaters often accrue damage early in a build, which aligns with parts, leading to an increase in porosity
Advancing Binder Jetting Additive Manufacturing with Fringe Research Technology
Phase3D is excited to share the highlights from a recent scientific study by our collaborators at the Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT), titled “Does Selective Shell Printing Advance Binder Jetting Additive Manufacturing?
Phase3D, a company at the forefront of additive manufacturing (AM) inspection innovation is the first company to correlate measurable metal powder bed fusion build anomalies to final part defects in real-time.
Linking Height Irregularities to Gas Porosity via Synchrotron X-rays
Phase3D’s goal is to detect and predict anomalies impacting 3D-printed parts to in the end reduce the cost per part of AM. Access to an incredibly advanced X-ray system validates how we will reach this goal.
