| description | Additive manufacturing of advanced materials has become widespread, encompassing a range of materials including thermoplastics, metals, and ceramics. For the ceramics, the complete production process typically involves indirect additive manufacturing, where the green ceramic part undergoes debinding and sintering to achieve its final mechanical and thermal properties. To avoid unnecessary energy-intensive steps, it is crucial to assess the internal integrity of the ceramic in its green stage. This study aims to investigate the use of active thermography for defect detection. The approach is to examine detectability using two benchmarks: the first focuses on the detectability threshold, and the second on typical defects encountered in 3D printing. For the first benchmark, reflection and transmission modes are tested with and without a camera angle to minimize reflection. The second benchmark will then be assessed using the most effective configurations identified. All defects larger than 1.2 mm were detectable across the benchmarks. The method can successfully detect defects, with transmission mode being more suitable since it does not require a camera angle adjustment to avoid reflections. However, the method struggles to detect typical 3D-printing defects because the minimum defect size is 0.6 mm, which is the size of the nozzle. |
