Abstract Scope |
Robocasting has multiple steps from ceramic slurry preparation to sintering that can impact the end part quality. In-situ monitoring and process controls can aid in minimizing differences in the quality of printed parts. The study and impact of different parameters during the printing process and a parameter database will improve the quality between green bodies and sintered parts. This paper discusses implementation of a CMOS camera, dynamic pressure sensor, and 2D laser scanner into a custom-built robocasting printer for in process monitoring. Single line beads and single layer samples were printed and analyzed by measuring the dimensions and pressure changes during printing. Results show that the printer with sensors detected the location of defects and changes in printed samples. |
