As additive manufacturing (AM) applications are more widely adopted, processes and material specifications, testing and inspection requirements are all gaining importance.
Manufacturing is becoming automated on a broad scale. The technology enables manufacturers to affordably boost their throughput, improve quality and become nimbler as they respond to customer demands. Ultimately, this helps them become more efficient.
Additive manufacturing continues to grow. The number of applications are on the rise, along with additive research. At this time last year, Paul Brackman was the only person working in the Zeiss Knoxville lab—today, he’s one of four full-time Zeiss staff at the lab, along with a team working in additive software applications at the Minneapolis headquarters, and a dedicated hardware team in Germany working on additive.
The medical industry stands out from other aspects of manufacturing. The inspection rates are often higher, quality is paramount, and the products could be implanted into the human body.
The ASQ Inspection Division Conference brought quality professionals to Louisville this week to learn more about measurement in the digital age. Keynotes by Mahr and Google provided a closer look at today’s quality challenges.
Designed to meet the cleanliness requirements of modern industry, the OLYMPUS CIX100 cleanliness inspector is a turnkey system for counting, analyzing and classifying micron-sized contaminants down to 2.5 µm.
In industries like consumer electronics, battery, and solar, the race for ever faster scanning, measurement, and control is critical to delivering 100% inspection of small parts moving at production speed.
Even the simplest QA schemes include pass/fail checks to tell you where the process is going wrong. However—and this is crucial—they can't tell you how right things are going!
Whether you’re prototyping something new or producing finished products, nondestructive X-ray and CT inspection has unlimited applications and endless benefits for your company.
