The chart below summarizes some of the AM industry challenges that are addressed by the PrintRite3D solution. This includes anomalies like re-coater interaction, machine-to-machine variation, powder distribution, and non-uniform gas flows, among others.

In addition to the above, the ability to detect lack of fusion, spherical porosity, key holing, gas flow variations and re-coater interactions, along with predicted metrics using machine learning, provides you with the confidence that the Sigma Additive Solutions in-process quality assurance solution can be a strong asset in your need for predictability, efficiency and cost-effectiveness. This system has been deployed and tested on multiple AM printers, including quad lasers, dual lasers, and single lasers from manufacturers like Additive Industries, DMG MORI, EOS, SLM Solutions, Renishaw, 3dSystems, Trumpf, Sodick, Concept Laser, Aconity3D and Coherent OR Laser.

The PrintRite3D solution continuously collects information throughout the 3D metal printing process, layer-by-layer, and utilizes this data to help you improve part quality and process efficiency in real-time. The objective is to build each part right, the first time, utilizing independent third-party quality assurance standards. This reduces your risks and error rate while improving process productivity and compliance.
