Examining Recoater Damage: How Alloyed is Addressing the Challenge

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
