  • TECHNIQUE FOR ANALYZING SENSOR DATA IN POWDER BED ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING
    Publication number: 20220194011
    Abstract: A device is provided, for analyzing sensor data of a sensor arranged in an apparatus for producing a three-dimensional work piece via irradiation of layers of raw material with an energy beam. The device comprises a control unit configured to receive the sensor data as a time series of data values. Each data value is indicative of a process condition within the apparatus during producing the three-dimensional work piece. The control unit is further configured to receive planning data for the three-dimensional work piece. The planning data defines a plurality of scanning vectors and a sequence according to which the energy beam is scanned along the scanning vectors.
