Abstract

The assessment of the potential of various non-destructive methods to characterise additive manufactured dense and lattice parts was investigated. The Archimedes’ and gas pycnometric methods for density measurements of both types of structures are presented as well as the percentage of cells in lattice structures. A multi-frequency eddy current method for electrical conductivity measurements of lattice structures is also presented. Finally, C-scan ultrasound method for the characterisation of dense parts was investigated. The advantages and limitations of each method are underlined.
