Dimensionics Density additive manufacturing technology helps determine material density

Dimensionics Density has introduced density determination technology for additive manufacturing, which can help with the automation of the AM process.

As geometric complexity increases, density determination of AM parts becomes more difficult. This technology determines the density of freeform parts and highly complex AM parts and can measure density repeatably to 0.001 g/cm3.

The accuracy of the system uses the Archimedean principle (by weighing the part in two different media) and the latest automation technology and laboratory-standard precision scales. The measuring process takes place automatically after samples have been inserted into the universal component carriers.

Numerous environmental factors that can affect the density measurement are monitored by the integrated measurement and control systems and are taken into account when calculating the density from the measurement data. This allows accuracies to be achieved in the determination of the density, which cannot generally be realized in an industrial production environment, the company states.
