Review of in-situ process monitoring and in-situ metrology for metal additive manufacturing
Sarah K. Everton,Sarah K. Everton,Matthias Hirsch,Petros Stravroulakis,Richard Leach,Adam T. Clare +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the state-of-the-art with respect to inspection methodologies compatible with additively manufactured (AM) processes is explored with the intention of identifying new avenues for research and proposing approaches to integration into future generations of AM systems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Surface texture metrology for metal additive manufacturing: a review
TL;DR: A comprehensive analysis of surface texture metrology for metal additive manufacturing has been performed in this paper, where the results of this analysis are divided into sections that address specific areas of interest: industrial domain; additive manufacturing processes and materials; types of surface investigated; surface measurement technology and surface texture characterisation.
BookDOI
Optical Measurement of Surface Topography
TL;DR: In this paper, surface texture measurement using optical 3D sensors has been studied and some common terms and definitions have been defined, including the limitations of optical sensors and limitations of 3D surface topography measuring instruments.
Book
Characterisation of Areal Surface Texture
TL;DR: In this article, the areal field parameters and areal feature parameters were compared to solar cell efficiency and the mechanical bond strength for copper on glass plating applications, using laser-structured cams and conrods.
Journal ArticleDOI
X-ray computed tomography for additive manufacturing: a review
TL;DR: In this article, the use of X-ray computed tomography (XCT) is examined, identifying the requirement for volumetric dimensional measurements in industrial verification of additively manufactured (AM) parts.
