High-Speed Thermography in Additive Manufacturing

Additive manufacturing – also known as 3D printing – is becoming increasingly popular in the industry. It refers to manufacturing processes in which material is applied layer by layer to create three-dimensional objects. Thereby chemical and physical hardening and melting processes take place, in which temperature plays a decisive role. Infrared cameras support the systematic monitoring of the entire manufacturing and machining process and record temperature developments and deviations in real time, for temperature is one of the factors on which the quality of the final product depends.
