"One of the most promising developments in metal ALM production systems concerns the real-time and closed-loop in-process quality control. In powder-bed ALM processes, the material is elaborated in parallel, as the part is shaped.

Monitoring the system settings and process parameters during the ongoing manufacturing permits to regulate and optimize conditions. Mechanical properties in metal additive layer manufacturing are all about metallurgy. In-process quality assurance and control will ensure the repeatability of parts with high material quality and consistent mechanical properties, which is essential for aerospace industry.

In-process inspection of the material health and dimensional accuracy will surely unlock the power of ALM technology for serial aerospace production as qualification and consistency variation are now the main concerns. Moreover, it will ultimately decrease unit costs of ALM components by reducing costs associated with quality control.



Spartacus3D understands in what extend ALM is a natural fit for Aerospace manufacturing, even though it still has space for improvement before it can unleash its full potential for this exacting industry."
