Mikrotron Camera Enables Real-Time Defect Detection in 3D Printing - MVPro Media

A team of researchers at Nanjing University of Science and Technology, China, has developed an experimental monitoring system capable of detecting dangerous defects in thin-walled 3D-printed parts. At the heart of the setup is a high-speed camera from Mikrotron, which allows scientists to identify “keyhole pores”, microscopic voids that can compromise the strength of parts produced by Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF). Keyhole pores form when exces…
