A paper by the AMiquam – ETHZ – inspire consortium has been published today in ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING about in-situ monitoring of powder bed fusion of metals using eddy current testing. This paper provides new insights into the layer by layer variations of key process and part quality variables that are now accessible in-situ using electromagnetic…

We will be at FORMNEXT in two weeks presenting our latest technologies in partnerhisp with our partner. You will have the chance to see the monitoring module integrated into a high end LPBF machine. Contact us for more information.
AMiquam is just starting a new project aimed at integrating compliant control tools in Direct Energy Deposition for industrial application in the heavy metal industry. The project is supported by INTEGRADDE, the EU consortium aimed at developing novel end-to-end solutions using Directed Energy Deposition (DED) processes for the manufacturing of certified large metal components in…

The Swiss machine professional magazine recently published a paper about our results, check that out (in German). https://www.maschinenmarkt.ch/bauteile-und-prozesse-qualifizieren-a-60588715ae36c1c0e927dadb311cb1eb/
Data collected with the AMiquam W1 device by our partners IDEKO and Mizar, with the support of the Pulsate project. An image is worth a thousand words.
Our partner inspire/ETHZ just completed a validation for the application of the AMiquam in-situ inspection tool to measure wall thicknesses during AM LPBF process. Outstanding results: a resolution of 10um or better for the wall thickness measurement can be achieved layer-by-layer, during the process. Great news for service providers who struggle to optimise their parameters…

Glad to share that a new innosuisse project has been awarded to continue the development of AMiquam technology. In this project, we will focus on the correlations between defects detected by CT scan and electromagnetic technique. We will apply the results to the in situ inspection of additive manufactured parts with geometries relevant for the…

We had the chance to present our results this month at the first ICAM22 co-organised by ESA and NASA. The “CT, MDI and Residual stress applied to AM” session gave us the opportunity to exchange with NASA and VTT scientists. It was very rewarding for us to see how much our efforts are aligned with…

When working with conducting powders (Al, Ti), there is a risk of explosion if certain conditions of temperature, oxygen content, and powder distribution are met within the LPBF build chamber. ATEX equipment specifically designed for use in potentially explosive atmospheres minimizes this risk and enables you to ensure compliance with the EHS requirements. We are glad to share…
