Did you know multispectral imaging can map and monitor melt pool temperatures in laser-based additive manufacturing? As part of the InShape EU project, we’re using Silios’s high-precision multispectral camera to make this possible (Thierry BERTHOU). But first, we need to calibrate the camera to convert its measurements from digital numbers to actual radiance units. We recently had a productive session at TUM’s Laser-Based Additive Manufacturing (LBAM) Labs, where we took on the challenges within the machine environment using three spectral sensors and four calibration materials. Soon, we’ll be ready to measure absolute temperatures accurately with this new camera.
