Infrared Camera Supports Real-Time Process Control for Laser Metal Deposition and Cladding

New Infrared Technologies’ Clamir system provides continuous meltpool monitoring for cladding and directed energy deposition 3D printing.

Very interesting article by Stephanie Hendrixson from Additive Manufacturing who talked with our colleague Guillermo Guarnizo about the benefits of CLAMIR system to monitor and control laser processes such as LMD in real time.
