GE SGLB JDTA will also ensure GEOMETRY. No
Post# of 375
Notice from GE's announcement of JDTA with Sigma Labs that not only will the technology improve quality but GEOMETRY will be ensured as well.

The mutually-developed inspection technology will verify the quality and geometry of additive components during the additive build process, increasing additive production speeds up to 25 percent in support of GE Aviation's growing production rates.
We know about the JDTA with Metronics for 3D scanning. However, I believe most of us missed this small point about geometry. If PrintRite3D opens work flow to allow 25-30% increase in productivity, and inspecting only those "suspect" items (as Mark Cola states in "inspecting for cause"), then post-build 3D scanning is not needed on ALL parts produced. PrintRite3D will definitely be an IMMENSE technological advantage.
