Got problems with AM surface quality?

Meet morQ, the measurement object for roughness Qualification. The morQ is a new generation test specimen developed to assess and optimize the AM value chain with a specific emphasis on surface quality and geometrical accuracy. Learn more about Oerlikon’s approach to surface engineering in AM, and download your morQ to get started.

The Test Quest

The Test Quest

We recently spoke to NC State University's Tim Horn on how to affect quality control down to a single component level in AM. Validating that the most critical applications meet requirements in this case involves, "developing the materials, moving through qualifications and utilizing process monitoring, process control and post-build inspections.". Read the full interview here.
