Fingerprinting Metal Powders: Non-Destructive Evaluation for Reliable 3D Printing
This invention introduces a real-time, non-destructive method to fingerprint metal powders for additive manufacturing. Using thermal signals from a modulated laser system, it accurately identifies powder composition, reuse status, and oxidation levels, preventing failed builds, reducing waste, and improving quality control.
