In-Situ Process Monitoring Considerations for Metal Fusion Additive Manufacturing
ARP7068
This document defines a recommended practice for addressing metal additive manufacturing (AM) In-Situ Process Monitoring (ISPM) for all fusion-based metal AM machines. In general, this applies to powder bed fusion (PBF) and wire- or powder-fed directed energy deposition (DED) technologies. Plasma, electron beam or lasers are applicable energy source(s).
Rationale: This document is intended to develop framework to leverage In-Situ Process Monitoring (ISPM) as substantiation means to demonstrate process control and process acceptance.
