Phase3D unveils new Fringe Inspection system for metal powder bed fusion

Phase3D has launched the next generation of its Fringe Inspection series, a hardware system built specifically for inspecting parts made by laser powder bed fusion. According to the announcement, the product was developed over several years. Laser powder bed fusion is a metal additive manufacturing process in which a laser melts successive layers of powder, so in-process inspection tools are of direct interest to quality engineers and production managers. The source material gives no further technical specifications, pricing or availability dates, so details on capabilities and deployment should be sought from the manufacturer.

Context Laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) is a metal process in which a laser melts thin layers of powder bed by bed to build a part.
