➀ Researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute are developing a method for inline quality assurance of 3D-printed parts, crucial for high-safety critical applications like aviation. ➁ The method involves non-destructive testing using a 6-axis industrial robot, capable of testing each printed component without damage. ➂ The initial results are promising, with all desired measurement points accessible and the quality of the measurements being very good, with deviations in the single-digit percentage range.
