In-situ monitoring for liquid metal jetting using a millimeter-wave impedance diagnostic

Abstract This article presents a millimeter-wave diagnostic for the in-situ monitoring of liquid metal jetting additive manufacturing systems. The diagnostic leverages a T-junction waveguide device to monitor impedance changes due to jetted metal droplets in real time. An analytical formulation for...
