  • ENHANCED NON-DESTRUCTIVE TESTING IN DIRECTED ENERGY MATERIAL PROCESSING
    Publication number: 20240165885
    Abstract: A system and method for measuring characteristics, comprising: a directed energy source having an energy output which changes over time, incident on an object undergoing additive manufacturing; a sensor configured to measure a dynamic thermal response of at least a portion of the object undergoing additive manufacturing proximate to a directed location of the directed energy source over time with respect distance from the directed location; and at least one processor, configured to analyze the measured dynamic thermal response to determine presence of a manufacturing defect in the object undergoing additive manufacturing, before completion of manufacturing.
    Type: Application
    Filed: May 22, 2023
    Publication date: May 23, 2024
    Inventors: Scott N. Schiffres, Matthias Daeumer, Jacob C. Simmons, Arad Azizi
