    摘要: A method for quality assurance in additive manufacturing monitoring includes (i) providing a machine control unit of an additive manufacturing system, the control unit coupled to a primary and a redundant machine sensor, (ii) conducting a sensor check, wherein the primary and redundant sensors are read out and the respective readings of the primary and redundant sensors compared, (iii) conducting an algorithm check, wherein a primary and a backup algorithm are executed for each of the sensor readings, and, (iv) applying a logic AND-function with the checked sensor readings as input each with a result of the primary and backup algorithm as input, respectively, wherein a manufacturing process is only maintained when the AND-functions read out “true” and wherein, when the AND-functions read out “false”, the process is aborted. Furthermore, a related additive manufacturing methodology, the machine control unit and a related computer program product are provided.
