Optimisation of surface topography characterisation for metal additive manufacturing using coherence scanning interferometry (2017)
Conference Proceeding

The surface topography of metal additive manufactured (AM) parts can be challenging to measure due to the presence of complex features, such as high slopes, step like recesses and protuberances, and local variations in reflectance. Recent innovations... Read More about Optimisation of surface topography characterisation for metal additive manufacturing using coherence scanning interferometry.

A microscopy approach for in situ inspection of the ?CMM stylus for contamination (2017)
Journal Article

During the µCMM measurement process, contamination gradually builds up on the surface of the stylus tip and affects dimensional accuracy of the measurement. Regular inspection of the stylus for contamination is essential in determining the appropriat... Read More about A microscopy approach for in situ inspection of the ?CMM stylus for contamination.

Coherence scanning interferometry for additive manufacture (2017)
Conference Proceeding

Additive manufacture (AM) of metal components is a rapidly maturing technology; but given the large number of interrelated process parameters, it remains difficult to control to high precision. It has been observed that processing conditions may be a... Read More about Coherence scanning interferometry for additive manufacture.

X-ray computed tomography of additively manufactured metal parts: the effect of magnification and reconstruction sampling on surface topography measurement (2017)
Conference Proceeding

X-ray computed tomography (XCT) has recently become recognised as a viable method of surface topography measurement for additively manufactured (AM) metal parts [1–5].
