…most existing metal AM systems. Using it means you gain an independent third-party source for Quality Assurance. You can retrofit PrintRite3D to existing AM installations or integrate it into new purchases, and the platform is compatible with existing OEM supplied sensors. Here’s how the process works. The software modules acquire and organize sensor data as the AM build is happening. That data is mined and processed by the onboard analytics engine, providing cross-build correlation and trend charting. The results allow you to make well-informed predictions about process results across machines, plants, and suppliers. PrintRite3D offers a graphical user interface for…
