This paper focuses on comparing the three microscopic measurement techniques, confocal, focus variation, and point for focus, for the evaluation of entire fracture surface topographies. The measurements were performed using a Sensofar S Neox 3D optical profilometer and the Mitutoyo QV Apex 302 vision measuring system. The test specimens required for measuring were printed through laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) technology using...

The purpose of this research was to evaluate the quality of small features fabricated by the fused filament fabrication (FFF) method. The samples containing circular and square cross-sections through holes with different dimensions, lengths, and orientation angles were printed from ABS (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene) filament. The adopted optical inspection method allowed us to conduct observations of individual features and...

Additive manufacturing (AM) has revolutionized the production of complex geometrical parts with metals; however, the usual layer-by-layer deposition results in poor surface quality and unpredictable surface integrity. Abrasive machining and finishing techniques play vital roles in counteracting these challenges and qualifying AM parts for practical applications. This review aims to present recent research developments concerning...

Nowadays, high requirements imposed by mechanical components make it necessary to develop modern production methods. Additive technologies have been dynamically developing in recent years, showing many advantages associated with the fabrication of elements with complex ge-ometries and structures. One of the areas where the potential of additive technologies is exploited is the rapid tooling sector, which is based on the rapid production...

Widespread and popular use of ceramic products in various industry sectors necessitates the search for methods of their efficient processing. Lapping technology, which enables obtaining high dimensional and shape accuracy and high surface flatness, is one of the basic methods of finishing hard and brittle technical ceramics with a porous structure. This study analyzed the characteristics and wear value of an SLS-printed abrasive...
