Publication number: 20230324170Abstract: A system and method for in-process inspection of a fused-filament fabricated part comprises an extrusion head and an associated laser profilometer for scanning and generating two-dimensional surface scans of additively deposited layers of the fused-filament fabricated part following material deposition of the layer by the extrusion head and prior to the deposition of subsequent layers. The surface scans are used to inspect the fused-filament fabricated part for defects during, or subsequent to, the fabrication of the part, either layer-by-layer or through a reconstruction of the part in three dimensions.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 6, 2022Publication date: October 12, 2023Inventors: Zachary Renwick, Joseph Costanzo, Jennifer Creamer
