  • ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING SYSTEM WITH MOVEABLE SENSORS
    Publication number: 20190329354
    Abstract: An additive manufacturing system includes an energy gun for melting at least a portion of a raw material layer and thereby forming at least in part a slice of a workpiece and a sensor for detecting surface and sub-surface anomalies or physical properties of the portion. The system also includes a positioning mechanism that moves the sensor in at least one of a normal direction and a parallel direction relative to an upper surface of the workpiece.
