| Abstract Scope |
Additive manufacturing, such as laser sintering or melting of additive layers can produce parts rapidly at small volume and in a factory setting. To make the parts having nuclear quality and yet low cost, a real-time non-destructive evaluation (NDE) technique is required to detect defects while they are being manufactured. The NDE technique utilizes a multimodal optical sensor unit that is incorporated in a direct metal laser sintering machine to capture defects in real-time. The sensor data can be used to identify defects as they occur such that immediate corrective action by the machine can be taken. It also provides parameters that enable the prediction if the part is of nuclear quality. Test results of additive manufactured parts will be presented and the predicted results are compared to actual flaws. |
