I came up with this project in an effort to replicate industrially made thermic (thermal) lances in a small, mobile form factor. Their use commercially is usually for demolition purposes as they have ...

A team of Penn State researchers has used a new 3D-printing method to produce a complex metal build that was once only possible with welding: fusing two metals ... as well as a way to monitor the melt ...

Error-free 3D printing. Defect detection and melt pool monitoring in a metal 3D printer. Tracks area of the melt pool, intensity, and radius. The variations of the melt pool are used to detect build ...

A curated collection of research papers with open-source implementations/datasets focused on in-situ process monitoring and adaptive control in laser-based additive manufacturing.

Once it finally melts, absorptivity increases and leads to inconsistent melt pool behaviour and potential defects in the printed part. Specialised laser systems that couple better with copper are ...
