AM production enables the creation of parts not possible with traditional technologies through new design concepts, new materials, and new applications, but still presents challenges.
Additive manufacturing (AM) technologies continuously blaze the trail of what’s possible for part design. As such, reliably and accurately inspecting the latest parts has become increasingly complex.
“Complex internal features are the hallmark of additive manufacturing,” says Rob Glassburn, 3D Engineering Solutions VP of operations. “By easing some design restrictions, the inspection becomes more complicated.”
