Subproject C4

Geometric measuring and testing technologies for Additive Manufacturing

The aim of this project is to achieve the metrological traceability of geometric pore measurements with computed tomography (CT) to increase the relevance of CT for nondestructive testing with regard to process failures. While in a first step this will be achieved for transparent measurement standards using high-resolution optical tomography, the transferability to additively manufactured parts will be ensured by experimental and simulation based investigations. In this way, concrete statements re-garding measurement uncertainties are enabled.
