Elucidating residual deformation of specimens and its mechanism for 3D printing of large metal components with reduced residual warping

Synergetic optimization for reducing residual warpage in laser powder bed fusion

In additive manufacturing (AM), metal parts are commonly 3D-printed using a fabrication technique called “laser powder bed fusion” (LPBF). LPBF involves repeated rapid metal powder...

Microspheres placed on a specimen in an interference microscope setup enable topographic measurements of structures below the physical resolution limit.

Overcoming the optical resolution limit

When measuring with light, the lateral extent of the structures that can be resolved by an optical imaging system is fundamentally diffraction limited. Overcoming this...
