Additional Context
Dutch 3D printing service provider Royal3D has launched the Interlayer Control System (ICS), a thermal monitoring tool for industrial 3D printing operations.
The Rotterdam-based provider’s system uses a 160 x 140 pixel thermal camera to continuously track nozzle positions across XYZ coordinates, measuring and logging interlayer temperatures as a print runs.
Temperature inconsistencies between layers can cause poor layer adhesion, internal stresses, warping, and misprints, and these issues typically go undetected until after a job is completed, at which point the material is already wasted and production timelines have taken a hit. The Interlayer Control System addresses this by giving operators visibility into interlayer temperatures in real time, before problems have a chance to compoun
