Sigma Labs, a provider of quality assurance software under the PrintRite3D brand, today announced that it will unveil its PrintRite3D INSPECT V3.0 quality assurance software at the international formnext 2017 powered by TCT conference, that will showcase current and future cutting-edge applications of additive technologies.
Sigma Labs' PrintRite3D INSPECT V3.0 software is a web-based, distributed application featuring 3D Thermal Mapping of the melt pool using Sigma Labs’ proprietary TED (Thermal Emission Density) metrics. These metrics are an industry first and powered by an advanced analytics engine, designed to meet the needs of users focused on research, development and qualification-level activities as well as day-to-day production activities. The researcher tools utilise in-process sensor data without the need for baseline comparisons providing users the data and framework for focused characterization and analysis leading to rapid process qualification and part certification. Quantitative, in-situ thermal history maps can also be used to validate modeling and simulation (M&S) results prior to process characterisation studies, process qualification & validation phases, as well as in conjunction with design optimisation evaluations.
“We are very pleased to unveil our next generation PrintRite3D INSPECT Version 3.0 software which includes deep learning algorithms and visualization tools that provide users with unparalleled process characterisation, qualification and validation capabilities across the additive manufacturing product QA continuum,” said Mark Cola, President and Chief Technology Officer of Sigma Labs. “We believe this release is a milestone achievement for Sigma Labs and the additive manufacturing industry as we drive our products to meet Industry 4.0 standards.”
“We believe that Sigma’s PrintRite3D INSPECT 3.0 software dramatically enhances additive manufacturing production capabilities with an ease of integration and use that sets Sigma Labs’ solutions apart from anything on the market,” said John Rice, Sigma Labs' CEO. “We are excited to unveil this next generation additive manufacturing solution at formnext 2017, a forum that could not be more fitting for this release.”
