Quick Summary
Additional Context
Chicago-based 3D printing quality assurance software developer Phase3D and Rowan University‘s Digital Engineering Hub (DEHub) have announced a partnership focused on data-driven metal additive manufacturing (AM) research, education, and process confidence.
The collaboration’s practical value became apparent during the first build Rowan’s team ran independently after installing its new DMG MORI LASERTEC 30 SLM US metal AM system, with Phase3D’s Fringe Inspection measuring the build surface layer by layer throughout the process.
A Preparation Error Created an Early Risk
Early in the print, a build-preparation output error caused roughly the first 60 layers to produce only the contours of the parts, skipping the intended infill or support structures.
The transition from that contours-only
