If the industry is to industrialize 3D printing, it will need automated tools to help reduce part cost while maintaining and increasing quality. It will need tools for conveyancing, de-powdering, de-stressing, resurfacing and QA as well. Dimensionics Density has released a metrology tool that the company hopes will help machine users dial in additive manufacturing (AM) processes more quickly and test parts by determining their density.
“As geometric complexity increases, density determination of AM parts becomes more difficult using commonly used density determination technologies. Dimensionics Density’s solutions can easily determine the density of freeform parts and highly complex AM parts and can measure density repeatably to 0.001 g/cm 3,” stated Philipp Pruesse, head of Sales for Dimensionics Density.
What Dimensionics Density does is use the good, old…
