The industry is pushing us to demonstrate our capability to detect tiny defects in the 0.1mm range using our in-situ inspection technology. Fortunately, we’re making progress towards achieving this goal, as evidenced by the above data collected during a fabrication process instrumented with our AMiquam product in the laboratory of our partner, Professor Fabian Riss,…

This week, AMiquam had the privilege of presenting its recent advancements at the ASTM ICAM25 conference in Las Vegas. The event provided an exceptional opportunity for our team to connect with the metal Additive Manufacturing (AM) community and engage in meaningful discussions about the current state and future needs of the industry. We were pleased…

Amiquam team and its partners have been very active in the last 3 months to integrate the new W2 eddy current array system in LPBF machines. We are very glad to share that the first tests are completely successful. In particular the installation into the SLM280 machine can be done in several hours so that…

Great paper just published by the wbk Institute of Production Science, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) about residual stress control in H13 steel. Glad to read that our technology has been used to assess the stress in LPBF parts. This opens the route for in situ inspection and residul stress control, an important parameter to…

Thank you to the ESA OSIP IMPROVE! evaluation team, for providing opportunities to startups and high-tech SMEs to contribute to space innovation. It was a significant milestone for the AMIQUAM team to pitch last week as we advance on our journey towards space qualification!
It is now well documented that eddy currents can significantly contribute to the QC and NDT of additively manufactured parts, either during the process or in post processing. To fully deploy its potential, the technique has to demonstrate its value for low density structures such as lattices, which are now commonly manufactured with PBF-LB.
Had a great meeting yesterday discussing the future of quality control and monitoring in metal additive manufacturing with our colleagues from Fieldmade AS, armasuisse Wissenschaft und Technologie, and HES-SO Valais-Wallis. The AMiquam team presented a new design of the in situ NDT/monitoring system installed in a Nikon SLM Solutions machine. Based on this design, the…
