The Vision System is a quality control solution for binder jetting 3D printing. It combines a high-quality camera, lighting, and analysis software to automatically capture images after every printed layer. Integrated with our software, NOAH, all images are stored in folders, creating a complete visual record of each print.
This system improves print performance by providing continuous monitoring. Recording every layer provides a clear understanding of the process, allowing precise identification of where and why a problem may have occurred. It also supports operator learning, ensures repeatable results, and helps maintain consistent quality even in complex or large-scale prints.
Detecting print errors relied on manual inspection, which is time consuming and carries higher risk of errors. The stored images enable review of potential issues such as insufficient powder and binder leakage. They also help with speeding up issue analysis and providing a clear record for accountability and team training. A comparison tool has also been developed to simplify error detection. It analyses all captured images against the original slice files and automatically highlights only the most significant deviations.
The Vision System Camera is available for Armadillo and Armadillo XL printers. It responds directly to the need for consistent quality control in binder jetting, giving manufacturers confidence in every build. By providing a complete visual record of the print, it not only simplifies problem analysis but also creates a valuable knowledge base for future prints. This makes it especially relevant for organizations looking to scale production while including quality insurance optimization.
