Closed-loop control introduced for metal 3-D printing system

Sciaky Inc., a subsidiary of Phillips Service Industries Inc., has introduced the IRISS™ patented closed-loop control for its Electron Beam Additive Manufacturing™ (EBAM) systems.

IRISS, which stands for Interlayer Real-time Imaging & Sensing System, provides consistent process control for part geometry, mechanical properties, microstructure, and metal chemistry for large-scale 3-D printed parts. The control monitors the metal deposition process in real time and makes adjustments to the process parameters that compensate for variation throughout the build process.
