Sigma Labs，计算机辅助检查（CAI）软件公司printrite3d软件已成为英国的成员制造技术中心（MTC）。
As a result, Sigma Labs will enable in-process quality monitoring for additive manufacturing systems at the MTC’s National Centre for Additive Manufacturing through its software; the company will also participate in MTC’s member-sponsored programs with a focus on qualification and certification of the additive manufacturing process.
“With Europe at the forefront of many innovative and major developments in the metal AM industry, we believe this agreement, our second major research alliance with a European center of excellence, holds great promise for us and the future of AM,” said John Rice, CEO of Sigma Labs.
“我们期待与MTC中的其他成员公司互动，尤其是与国家添加剂制造中心的研究人员合作，以展示Printrite3D Inspect的能力和潜力技术。”
MTC，航空航天部门和添加剂制造业
MTC总部位于考文垂，是用于研发，培训，高级制造管理和工厂设计的枢纽。为了加速全球工业制造业，MTC通过在航空航天，自动化和添加剂制造领域的合作开发了大型网络。
去年，MTC成为ASTM International Additive Manufacturing Centre of Excellence。此后，该机构开始了与NASA的合作伙伴关系他还是卓越中心的合作伙伴，开发用于太空任务的先进技术。
The MTC is also working on the戏剧（航空航天的数字可重新配置增材制造设施）为期三年的研究项目，旨在使用数字学习工厂改善英国的航空航天供应链。在此时间范围内，MTC介绍了其为期两年项目的结果，弹性, which aims to provide an automated additive manufacturing post-processing solution for metallic components.
现在，将Sigma Labs作为MTC的合作伙伴，该公司将为该中心的几个项目和现有成员提供精密金属制造的专业知识和解决方案。该合作伙伴关系标志着Sigma Labs本月与欧洲卓越中心的第二项研究协议，这是其最近与Fraunhofer Iapt的加性联盟。
Printrite3D检查at the MTC
Sigma Labs的Printrite3D Inspect是一个过程中质量保证（IPQA）软件。这项技术与公司的Sensorpak硬件协同作用，该硬件具有离轴和轴上进程传感器，可以收集有关添加剂制造过程的实时数据。
肯·扬a technology director at the MTC stated, “I am delighted to welcome Sigma Labs to the MTC community. Quality assurance in additive manufacturing is a critical topic that requires significant attention.”
“在添加剂制造过程中获得对零件质量的洞察力减少了后建造检查的努力，并最终为闭环过程控制提供了基础，以改善稳健性。”
