+The CMOS camera works by using a sending a beam of modulated light to the target scene, and measuring the change in phase of the reflected light. Since time of flight is directly linked to the phase, it is possible to determine the range to the scene. By using an array of photo-detectors, it is possible to map the distance to several points in the scene quickly, and no scanning is required.},

Post process, non-destructive evaluation is currently used to assess this but an improved solution is to embed measurement apparatus within machine tools in order to continually evaluate performance in process.
+This presentation will provide an insight into ongoing work which makes use of two techniques; optical coherence tomography (OCT) and Spatially Resolved Acoustic Spectroscopy (SRAS) for polymer and metal ALM methods respectively. Both of these techniques are of significant interest to machine builders since they are able to evaluate both surface and subsurface integrity. Through the use of OCT it is possible to discriminate between the density of subsurface regions within the near surface 500µm of Nylon 12 SLS specimen. In addition the use of SRAS is shown to detect surface pores alongside correlating crack densities with laser scan strategies. The use of these tools also presents new opportunities for inspection and discussion will also focus on how they will be used in the industrial setting.},

However LU is not often used in an industrial environment due to some detection drawbacks. The detection system may not be robust enough under microphonics/vibration. Given the industrial context, it is difficult to detect ultrasonic signals on surfaces that give specular return (rough surfaces). Finally, commercial detector solutions are often too expensive and restrictive for the technique to be used outside niche scenarios.
+This presentation will explore the detector known as the speckle knife edge detector (SKED), which can potentially overcome all these drawbacks. The detector is able to measure an incident speckle field shift, i.e. measure ultrasound signals off rough surfaces. There are some key benefits in using the SKED, including the cost, speed and small form factor. A demonstration of a SKED experiment is planned.},

+  abstract = {High integrity engineering applications will not permit the incorporation of many defects observed in current class powder bed fabrication systems. Therefore, there are limitations as to which engineering context this manufacturing method may be used. Ex-situ methods of inspection and verification will always be necessary for quality control but, current commercial techniques can undermine the business case for using additive manufacturing. Undertaking in process geometrical measurements, condition monitoring and intra layer integrity evaluation are therefore key aspects for pushing additive manufacturing forward and assuring that parts are of the required quality. The advancement of new instruments also allows for the inspection of additional facets of the additive manufacturing process such a re-coater performance, crystal grain size, orientation and raster scan efficacy. The ability to identify early warning signs of failure is critical in order to pause a failing or failed build to save expensive raw materials and machine time.
+Beyond identification of defects, next generation machine tools will be able to propose and execute repair strategies to some classifications of defects once observed. This will represent a step change in machine tool technology and will serve to open numerous applications for additive manufacturing. This talk will firstly address the rapidly shifting state-of-the-art in this area focusing on metal/polymer powder bed fabrication methodologies. Techniques for comparing in-process evaluation apparatus will be discussed with respect to assessing the spatial and temporal capability of a given instrument. Instruments being developed at the University of Nottingham for in process metrology and monitoring will be presented. Typical data sets created by these will be introduced and capability examined. The method of machine integration and reasonable expectations as a result of future developments will be discussed. In addition recent advances at Nottingham will be introduced which highlight a new methodology for detecting and repairing cracks and pores produced in metal powder bed systems. Activities supported through European and EPSRC initiative will also be explored. These include in-process fringe projection/ photogrammetry techniques, a two-sensor approach to process optimization, a multi-sensor fusion approach for metal powder-bed fusion, laser ultrasonics and optical coherence tomography.},

Inconveniently, the same material properties which allow them to perform well in service render them difficult to process via powder bed fusion. Current build systems are characterised by high defect rates and erratic microstructure, leading to components with inferior mechanical properties. Given the high specific costs in powder bed fusion manufacture there is a real and apparent need to minimise component scrappage due to these defects. Here a method is proposed to make good the defects that will inevitably be produced in current class laser processing of metallic powders.
+This study investigates the use of spatially resolved acoustic spectroscopy (SRAS) scan data to inform repair strategies within a commercial selective laser melting machine.  Using the common aerospace nickel superalloys, Inconel 718 and CM247-LC, localised re-melting was shown to consistently reduce the depth of defect. A 50 \% reduction in defect depth was observed for both materials using different rework strategies. No appreciable variation was seen with the single-shot strategy, due inaccurate realignment.},

+  abstract = {Selective Laser Melting (SLM) is an exciting prospect for use in high-value manufacturing. Removing many of traditional machining constraints allows significant design optimisation and weight-saving, however defects levels found in current class build systems is not acceptable for structural components. The complex geometry found in SLM posses many challenges for traditional NDT techniques. The layer-by-layer manufacturing nature provides an opportunity to take surface measurements to develop volumetric datasets, whilst circumventing many of the problems posed by novel, geodesic structures. Additionally, traditional fabrication techniques have undergone centuries of refinement, allowing close control of the final crystalline micro-structure, dictating the mechanical performance. In contrast, additive manufacturing is characterised by highly isotropic and difficult to control microstructure. Given the impact on the functional properties of the component, techniques which can provide microstucture information are highly valuable. The high associated costs with SLM, compared to both other additive and subtractive techniques encourages a minimisation of scrapped builds, current linear work flows rely on post-build inspection and subsequently significant numbers of failed builds. Whilst online monitoring can allow early scrappage, true value shall be added through the realisation of adaptive scan strategies to correct defects as they arise.
+Spatially Resolved Acoustic Spectroscopy (SRAS) is an acoustic microscopy technique, which utilises laser ultrasonics for the excitation and detection of surface acoustic waves for materials characterisation. This technique meets many of the requirements of a suitable inspection technique for SLM, such as non-destructive, and early studies have confirmed the ability to detect defects and measure microstructure in SLM parts using SRAS. However, significant challenges remain as the technique and instrumentation is developed towards online measurements. This talk will discuss the merits of using SRAS for in-process inspection for defect detection and characterisation, with a review to enabling remedial action. Discussion will touch on system capability, including a time-cost model and progress towards build system integration. Particular focus will be paid to the detection and characterisation of porosity, both subsurface and surface breaking.},

We will present results of the laser ultrasonic technique – spatially resolved acoustic spectroscopy (SRAS) – on as deposited material from a build chamber compatible instrument. We will discuss the possibilities for defect and microstructure control, and the challenges remaining for online inspection.},

As such, there are limitations to the engineering context that this manufacturing method may be used in. Microstructure and defect interrogation are key aspects for pushing additive manufacturing forward, assuring part quality. In addition, online measurements allow for closed-loop feedback, where component measurements can inform remedial action, or vary processing parameters during fabrication.
+The acoustic microscopy technique spatially resolved acoustic spectroscopy is an exciting proposition for use in component integrity assessment, due to its ability to detect surface and subsurface defects, and probe material properties. This talk will introduce typical datasets from both prepared and as-deposited AM surfaces, and discuss the opportunity presented by collecting data online, focusing on rework of defects. The talk will conclude with an overview of progress made towards online integration and on-going challenges.},

+  abstract = {High-integrity engineering applications such as aerospace will not permit the incorporation of components containing any structural defects. The current generation of additive manufacturing platforms yield components with relatively high levels of defects. The in-line inspection of the components built using additive can provide closed-loop feedback and vary build parameters during fabrication to minimise such defects. This article reviews the capability of spatially resolved acoustic spectroscopy to be used as an in-line inspection tool for detecting the changes in parts induced due to variations in build parameters. The first considers the build laser power and the second varies the laser scan strategy used to build the component. Using the detected probe light intensity map and the measured surface acoustic velocity, the detection of surface defects, subsurface defects and component microstructure can be measured.},
