Durchlaufende Kalibrierung eines berührungslosen thermischen Aufnehmers für Lasersinterung

摘要

An apparatus and a method of using the apparatus wherein a radiation emitter (140) is positioned adjacent a sensor means (142,144,145) within a process chamber (102) in a laser sinter system (100) that emits radiation to the sensor means and a calibration means receives readings from the sensor means (142,144,145) to compare temperature sensings received from the sensor means with set emission signals from the radiation emitter (140) to adjust the temperature sensings to thereby calibrate the sensor means during the forming of a three-dimensional article. The calibration is done repeatedly during the build process of the three-dimensional article (Fig. 1).
