Electron Beam Additive

Control Vision Inc., Sahuarita, Ariz., in collaboration with Keystone Synergistic Enterprises, Port St. Lucie Fla., is developing an optical sensor suite for closed loop control, optimization of process parameters, and quality assurance of additive manufacturing processes. A laser-based melt pool measurement sensor provides direct feedback control ensuring process consistency, while a 3-D scan of the deposited material measures deposition shape and detects defects. If defects are detected a signal is pass
