Description

ABSTRACT: In this study, components were 3D-printed using three different additive manufacturing technologies: Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM), Selective Laser Sintering (SLS), and Stereolithography (SLA). However, only the SLA printed parts were analyzed using non-contact measurement techniques. The dimensional accuracy of the SLA printed parts was evaluated using GOM Inspect software and the GOM ATOS non-contact 3D scanner, applying optical digitization to assess deviations from the nominal CAD model. This approach highlights the effectiveness of non-contact metrology in ensuring precision, especially for complex geometries and high-detail parts produced by SLA technology.
