Sensors for AM
MONITORS THE QUALITY OF AM PROCESS AND PARTS
Whereas additive manufacturing (AM) gives industry unique design and manufacturing flexibility, the certification of the parts still presents significant challenges. This is the main bottleneck hindering the massive growth of metal AM. Our product and services contribute to solve this issue
Sensors fixed to the recoater
Process monitoring using NDT compliant sensors
Integration
The module can be integrated in most of the LPBF AM machines. We already instrumented the following machines, ask us if yours is not in the list, we will design the installation kit for you !

Visualizing quality issues
Differences in material quality are directly detected using our electromagnetic sensors.
These differences can be caused by changes in the process parameters or by localised defects. Early warnings are generated using these data.

The measurements you need for your Installation Qualification (IQ)
The IQ is the first step in the qualification of a manufacturing process. For a metal LPBF process, this means that the machine must undergo several tests before being used in production. They aim at demonstrating that the machine matches the expected performance which is specified jointly by the machine OEM and the customer.
Data Fusion – Eddy Current and Camera images
AMiquam releases a new Data Fusion solution for metal AM, merging AMiquam electromagnetic imaging and off-axis optical imaging (present in every machine). Combining ground truth and coverage, a new dimension for quality management of the metal AM process. Ready to create machine learning data sets for AI with your data, improving compliance and simplifying qualification. Many thanks to our partner Eric Baustert from Volum-e for letting us share the data.
AMiquam product supporting LPBF process qualification
Installation, Operation, and Performance Qualification are core components of the quality system of any company producing parts by means of Laser Powder Bed Fusion. A new technical specification has been issued by ISO and ASTM with recommendations on how to implement...
