Quality assurance method for 3d printing using sensor data
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11999110B2) outlines a method for ensuring quality in the printing of three-dimensional objects. The method involves comparing different three-dimensional printers to a standard, analyzing data collected by sensors to identify deviations, and assessing the quality of the printing based on these deviations. Users are provided with a comparison of printers and components, as well as alerts for any deviations from expected values. The standard includes various components such as sensors, layer dispensers, transforming agents, and optical components, with a focus on maintaining quality throughout the printing process.
Furthermore, the patent also covers the use of a non-transitory computer-readable medium and an apparatus for implementing the method. The medium includes instructions for comparing printers, analyzing sensor data, and assessing printing quality, while the apparatus involves a controller that performs these functions. Additional features include stamping data collected by sensors, displaying status indicators for components, and utilizing thresholds set by users for variables. The apparatus also focuses on maintaining internal atmospheres, controlling gas conveyance systems, and recycling materials during the printing process. Overall, the patent aims to provide a comprehensive method and system for ensuring quality in three-dimensional printing by monitoring various components and variables throughout the process.
