Abstract

This work explores impact of refined surface registrations of voxel and point cloud data sets on accuracy of multi-method qualification of additively manufactured (AM) lattices. Voxel and point cloud sets of an AM lattice were aligned using derived geometry datums based on a theoretical supplemental surface definition, which has been established in recent draft standards, but has yet had limited examination using complex AM structures. A refined sampling registration approach for lattice geometry based on spatially-dependent subsampling is derived and shown to statistically decrease variation between measurement sources. This importance of well-defined sampling practice and definition is highlighted. The applicability of this approach for multi-method qualification of complex AM parts is discussed. This work lays the foundation of utilizing specifications under consideration in a new standard with possible verification techniques that can be employed.
