Scanning Acoustic Microscopy for 3D Print Quality Control

This paper presents a comprehensive review of scanning acoustic microscopy as a potential tool for enhancing quality control for 3D-printed parts. The influence of additive manufacturing on modern production demands detailed inspection techniques to ensure the integrity of objects. The use of this imaging technique can be a likely approach for nondestructively assessing both surface and internal defects, such as cracks, voids, and other structural inconsistencies. This paper focuses on the fundamental principles, framework, and applications of scanning acoustic microscopy as a quality control tool for objects.
