Using Displacement Sensors to Characterize Critical Powder Layers in Laser Powder Bed Fusion

Additive manufacturing (AM) allows for the creation of complex geometries that cannot be created with traditional manufacturing methods, though process quality tools are still undeveloped. Uniform powder layers are critical to the final part quality for such processes, and currently, no machine can...
