Process Control and Quality Assurance Software for Additive Manufacturing

PrintRite3D® CONTOURTM™

PrintRite3D® CONTOUR™

Software for real-time monitoring of in-process part geometry

  • Layer-by-layer geometry measurement tool
  • Provides manufacturing engineers with the capability of comparison of ‘as-built’ to original digital CAD model ‘should be’
  • Includes optics, mechanical system and data path to image two-dimensional melted powder

REPORTING

  • Powerful edge detection algorithms verify geometry of the component as it is being built
  • Provides three-dimensional roll up of all layers

FEATURES :

  • Real-time in-process monitoring of geometry
  • Collects in-process sensor and machine data
  • Links real-time process data to critical-to-quality (CTQ) features
  • Provides for process intervention
  • Real-time acquisition and visualization: HMI module
  • Measurement accuracy sufficient to resolve a 100µm feature in-plane

BENEFITS :

  • Provides objective evidence of compliance to design intent
  • Early defect detection
  • Scrap reduction
  • Increased yield
