On November 9, Phase3D released two large-format Fringe Inspection in-situ inspection systems, compatible with 600×600 mm platforms such as the EOS M 400 series and the Nikon SLM NXG. The systems offer vertical accuracy of ±10 microns and can monitor anomalies in real time, including layer height, deposition consistency, over-melting, and recoater interference. Metal LPBF process monitoring is moving toward becoming standard equipment on large-format machines, with powder quality issues traceable in situ. Value for buyers: in-situ inspection makes powder quality fluctuations (recoating anomalies caused by changes in particle size or flowability) traceable during the printing process, reducing losses from scrapping entire builds.
