In-Situ or Too Late: Spatter Detection and Porosity Prediction for LPBF

By the time a part reaches post-process inspection, defects are already locked in.

In this on-demand webinar, Phase3D explores how in-situ monitoring can identify spatter during Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF) and how those measurements can be used to predict subsurface porosity before the build is complete.

Using case study data independently validated by the Additive Manufacturing Institute of Science and Technology (AMIST) at the University of Louisville, we examine the relationship between observable process behavior and defects that would otherwise remain hidden until post-process inspection.

What You'll Learn

• How Phase3D's Fringe Inspection™ technology provides in-situ monitoring during LPBF

• How spatter can be detected and quantified during the build process

• How in-situ spatter data can be used as a predictor of subsurface porosity

• How the case study results compare with ex-situ inspection data from AMIST at the University of Louisville

• How in-process inspection can provide earlier visibility into build quality and potential defects

Who Should Watch

This webinar is designed for:

• Additive manufacturing and process engineers

• Quality managers and inspection teams

• R&D researchers working in metal additive manufacturing

• AM program managers and technical leaders evaluating in-process inspection solutions

From Process Data to Defect Prediction

Traditional inspection tells you what happened after the build is complete. In-situ inspection creates the opportunity to understand what is happening while the process is still underway.

Watch the webinar to see how Phase3D uses measurable process signatures such as spatter to connect what happens during LPBF with the resulting part quality.
