The company Addiguru, specialized in multisensor monitoring for metal additive manufacturing, has established several collaborations. Together with partners such as Apex Additive Technologies, Renishaw, and the Advanced Manufacturing Center at the University of Bolton, they aim to perfect defect detection during the printing process. The goal is to analyze optical, thermal, and machine data to increase reliability and reduce the need for costly post-inspections.
Multisensor Data Integration for Early Detection 🔍
Addiguru's platform integrates data from multiple sensors in real time. In a benchmark test, the system showed 96% accuracy in the early identification of anomalies. The collaboration with Apex and Renishaw focuses on integrating this software with manufacturing systems to correlate different data streams. Another alliance with AMS investigates its application in multi-laser systems for long series, aiming to optimize parameters and ensure repeatability in production.
Goodbye to surprise discovery post-printing 😮
It seems that the era of finding hidden defects only after hours of printing and costly scans is coming to an end. With this approach, the machine could alert you to a problem almost instantly, like a very picky copilot. Perhaps soon we'll miss that carefree excitement when starting a long job, followed by the classic disappointment upon seeing the result. One more step toward removing the drama from industrial 3D printing.
