Accuracy, repeatability, and isotropy
Accuracy, repeatability, and isotropy
Any additive manufacturing (AM) process deployed for the production of functional and end-use parts must be accurate and repeatable when it comes to the geometric dimensions and material properties of manufactured parts.
One method of evaluating the variability of an AM process is to examine the accuracy and precision of part dimensions and mechanical properties, as well as the repeatability of those results on a build-to-build and machine-to machine basis.
