In situ process quality monitoring and defect detection for direct metal laser melting

Abstract Quality control and quality assurance are challenges in direct metal laser melting (DMLM). Intermittent machine diagnostics and downstream part inspections catch problems after undue cost has been incurred processing defective parts. In this paper we demonstrate two methodologies for in-pro...
