DYNAMIC METHOD OF OBTAINING A SAMPLE OF MATERIALS

摘要

A method of obtaining a sample of materials includes building a product through an additive manufacturing process. A capsule is formed with an internal chamber inside of the capsule. The capsule is formed during the building of the additive manufacturing product. A sample of powder is encapsulated inside the internal chamber as the capsule is built. The internal chamber is hermetically sealed from an exterior environment to retain the sample of powder in the internal chamber.
