Technical Deep Dive: Fraunhofer Competence Field Additive Manufacturing - Powder characterization using HSI
It is not only the storage and recycling of metal powders that pose technical challenges for additive manufacturing, but also quality control and assurance.

Particularly complex powder characterization processes hinder more sustainable powder processing. Hyperspectral imaging (HSI) can significantly accelerate the continuous quality assurance of powders using data-based methods. The Fraunhofer IWS presents initial results for various material classes, including aluminum, titanium and copper alloys.
