Renishaw’s InfiniAM Sonic software helps improve AM quality

- Automation and Software
Renishaw has introduced InfiniAM™ Sonic acoustic process monitoring software. It enables engineers to detect acoustic events within the additive manufacturing build chamber and turn this data into information about build quality.
The software, installed into the RenAM 500Q system as a factory fit option, includes four acoustic-energy sensors to detect vibration in the build. The sensors detect minute vibrations and collect these sound waves so that they can be heard, viewed, and analyzed. Using four high-frequency sensors in different locations results in a slight time difference because of the speed of sound. The software uses this to triangulate the position of the noise on the build plate and determine its magnitude. This data then can be combined graphically with other sensor data to build a comprehensive view of the part and the conditions at the time of build.
