Smarter Inspection for Additive Manufacturing: AI vs. Rule-Based Segmentation in Defect Detection

In the world of additive manufacturing, quality control must keep pace with innovation. Traditional rule-based methods are often too rigid to detect the complex, varied defects found in 3D printed parts. That’s where AI steps in.

Ernst-Abbe-Hochschule Jena

Development of a method and a process chain for manufacturing foamed components via large-volume melt processing

A highlight at the booth of the Ernst Abbe University of Applied Sciences (EAH) Jena is the presentation of components made from foamed plastics using Large Scale Additive Manufacturing (LSAM). The exhibits on display were created as part of the research project “3D-Foam.”

3D printing on a grand scale – additive manufacturing of large-volume metal components

The Macro-SLM process enables the production of individual metallic components with extremely high build rates in cubic meter dimensions. In contrast to deposition welding, it offers all the design freedom of powder bed-based 3D printing.

3D printing in miniature – high-precision additive manufacturing in the micro range

The Micro-SLM process enables the production of metallic or ceramic components with high structural resolution and very low surface roughness. For example, complex internal structures and movable features in the range of a few micrometers can be realized.

Fraunhofer Kompetenzfeld Additive Fertigung

Technical Deep Dives Tour: Fraunhofer IWU - Innovative LPBF process development for new materials in thermal management

The further development of the LPBF process (Laser Powder Bed Fusion) for the processing of innovative materials with outstanding properties opens up promising prospects for thermal management.

Fraunhofer Kompetenzfeld Additive Fertigung

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.

Free FIT guides make fit for the world of AM

In a survey conducted by Vogel Communications, 560 companies were asked why they are not yet using additive manufacturing. For 42.2% of them, it was because they lacked the necessary know-how. The FIT-AM experts are therefore publishing a series of practice-oriented guides.
