Geometric measuring and testing technologies for Additive Manufacturing (C04)

• Subject Area: Metal-Cutting and Abrasive Manufacturing Engineering
• Term: from 2011 to 2023
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 61375930

The aim of this sub-project is to achieve the metrological traceability of geometric pore measurements with computed tomography (CT) to increase the relevance of CT for nondestructive testing with regard to process failures. While in a first step this will be achieved for transparent measurement standards using high-resolution optical tomography, the transferability to additively manufactured parts will be ensured by experimental and simulation based investigations. In this way, reliable statements regarding measurement uncertainties are enabled.
