Additive Manufacturing Process Monitoring and Control Technologies

Made In Space, Inc. (MIS) and Siemens PLM Software propose an integrated Automated Processing. Monitoring, Control and Remediation System (Aul) to provide a process monitoring and control capability. Made In Space, Inc. leads the effort based on integrating Made In Space, Inc., proven inspection sensors systems with a Digital Thread for Additive Manufacturing (DTAM) system, co-developed by Siemens PLM Software and Deloitte, enabling real time knowledge of additive manufacturing processes. This knowledge enables precise quality control and consistency in parts produced. The objectives of this effort are identify the suite of sensors/instruments necessary or desired for monitoring additively manufactured parts and Show that The Made In Space sensors and teammate Siemens PLM Softwares DTAM can be integrated for process monitoring and control of additively manufactured parts.
