| Abstract Scope |
One of the issues facing additively manufactured parts is the inability to guarantee a lack of defects and certify parts as ready for use in real-world applications. While this can be justified by things like lower cost and shorter lead times in areas such as tooling, in higher-risk applications like aerospace better certification methods are needed. One of the most promising proposals for part certification is a digital representation of a part known as a digital twin. A digital twin is an electronic representation of a part and can be created using data collected during the build process. A data acquisition system capable of collecting the necessary data for a digital twin of a wire-arc part will be presented along with a sample of data collected using this system. |
