Systems and methods for receiving sensor data for an operating additive manufacturing machine and mapping the sensor data with process data which controls the operation of the machine

Abstract:

Method, and corresponding system, for receiving and processing sensor data for an additive manufacturing machine. The method includes determining values of the sensor data relative to time; and determining tool positions relative to time based on process data which controls operation of the additive manufacturing machine. The method further includes determining the sensor data values at the working tool positions based on a correlation of the values of the sensor data relative to time and the working tool positions relative to time. A representation of the sensor data values at the working tool positions is displayed by a user interface device.
