The ability to align ex-situ inspection data of an additively manufactured (AM) part to its build geometry can be helpful, for example, to correlate observed in-situ monitoring events or features to measured discontinuities, such as pores and cracks, in ex
Powder bed fusion (PBF) additive manufacturing (AM) provides a greater level of flexibility in the design-driven build of metal products. However, the more complex the design is, the more difficult to control the quality of AM builds. The quality challenge

The elastic response of homogeneous isotropic materials is most commonly represented by their Young's modulus (E), but geometric variability associated with additive manufacturing results in materials that are neither homogeneous nor isotropic. Here we
Laser flash testing and finite element (FE) heat transfer simulations have been together applied to measure the thermal conductivity of metallic powder in laser powder bed fusion (L-PBF) additive manufacturing. However, input parameters to the FE model
