In-process measurement and monitoring of a polymer laser sintering powder bed with fringe projection

We investigate the feasibility of using fringe projection to monitor the powder bed of a polyamide 12 polymer laser sintering machine. In particular, we demonstrate the ability of fringe projection to identify a number of defects arising during the printing process by recording the three-dimensional...
