Phase3D Launches Fringe Qualification for Additive Manufacturing
Posted: 2024-11-15
[Chicago, IL, October 24, 2024] – Phase3D, a leader in additive manufacturing (AM) in-situ inspection technology, today unveils Fringe Qualification, a groundbreaking addition to their Fringe Inspection product suite that sets a new standard in real-time production-scale quality control for AM. This powerful tool enables manufacturers to certify and control AM builds in real-time across their entire fleet of machines, bringing unprecedented efficiency and reliability to high-stakes industries.
Fringe Qualification™ introduces automated, layer-by-layer inspection capabilities across multiple machines, designed to ensure part quality at production scale. This advanced system integrates seamlessly with Phase3D’s existing Fringe Operator visualization and inspection software, creating a comprehensive solution for build certification that drastically reduces post-processing costs and accelerates delivery timelines.
"With Fringe Qualification, we’re transforming how manufacturers approach quality control in additive manufacturing," says Dr. Niall O'Dowd, Founder and CEO of Phase3D. "Our customers can now certify parts layer-by-layer, reducing post-processing costs and enabling faster delivery of critical parts."
Key features of Fringe Qualification™ include:
· Real-time inspection across multiple machines: Monitor and manage quality control for an entire fleet from a centralized dashboard, agnostic to machine brand and version.
· Automated quality checks using historical build data: Optimize precision by applying data-driven parameters.
· Instant out-of-specification alerts: Enable immediate action on any irregularities with minimum possible time delay.
· Detailed build reports: Provide comprehensive quality documentation tailored to industry needs and standards.
Fringe Qualification™ leverages the data collected from each Fringe Inspection instance installed on each printer, and collects anonymized quality data from each machine’s quality inspection instance. These objective data—collected for every build on each printer provides quantifiable metrics for real-time decision-making, setting it apart from AI/ML-based methods. Instead, Phase3D’s metrology approach ensures trusted, repeatable data for maintaining the highest industry standards.
"Fringe Qualification™ represents the next evolution in additive manufacturing quality control," says Ben Ferrar, COO & Chairman of the Board at Phase3D. "By enabling real-time production control across multiple machines, we’re empowering manufacturers to achieve consistent quality, every time."
Supporting Advanced Manufacturing Across Industries
With robust certification reporting, Fringe Qualification™ addresses the rigorous quality needs of sectors such as aerospace, medical devices, and defense manufacturing, where flawless part consistency is essential.
Phase3D will demonstrate Fringe Qualification™ at Formnext 2024, Booth E58 in Hall 11.0.
