Loop Control System

Parts that are additively manufactured without a control system can have many quality issues. Since part quality for metal is affected by parameter settings in the deposition process, uncontrolled settings can lead to variability in layer geometry, mechanical properties, microstructure, and possibly chemistry. Traditionally, deposition settings and adjustment of parameters were analyzed by an operator and manually corrected, resulting in variable part quality. This limitation is possibly the single largest barrier to the adoption of Additive Manufacturing [AM].
The IRISS real-time closed-loop control is integrated with Sciaky EBAM 3D-printing systems
Digital parameter control and adjustments are made in response to real-time measured data, without process disruption
Records every second of deposition, so the entire build can be reviewed, verifying consistency and keeping a record for later review
Prevents surprises by dynamically adjusting parameters to maintain part integrity
Better insures net shape fabrication and reduces post processing time and costs such as machining and inspection
