Abstract
This method provides a suitable solution for monitoring an additive manufacturing process. The implementation is evaluated in a manufacturing machine of fused filament fabrication. The main parts of the work are the developing and integration of an adaptable 3D hardware platform, the pre-processing of captured layer point clouds and the developing of object point cloud stack. The result is sufficient to estimate the manufacture quality and complies requirements for an inline process control method.
Highlights
The area of additive manufacturing (AM) is increasing in almost every sector of industry and is getting more and more important as an alternative for traditional factoring methods like milling
The advantages begins with the process of developing in Computer Aided Design (CAD)

Summary
The area of additive manufacturing (AM) is increasing in almost every sector of industry and is getting more and more important as an alternative for traditional factoring methods like milling. The large variety in material of available filaments for an FFF manufacturing system requires adapted machine parameters for an acceptable manufacturing result. This paper presents an inline process monitoring method for a fused filament fabrication manufacturing machine. The manufacturing process works additive, what means the objects structure is manufactured in layers.
