Metrology & Calibration (METCAL) for Additive Manufacturing (AM)/3D printing technologies
Abstract
The goal of this work is to create and demonstrate a method for constantly recalibrating additive manufacturing including functional materials, on a layer-by-layer basis. Such a system will enable validation of the manufactured part as well as improved part tolerances based on the new sensors and feedback control of our proposed system. We will achieve this by integrating a high-speed optical scanning system with a 3D printer and then developing algorithms to scan and correct drifting offset and scaling errors during the print process.
