ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING QUALITY CONTROL WITH ELEMENTAL ANALYSISBROCHUREMore Visibility.Better Control.Additive manufacturing has completely changed how manufacturers approacheverything from product design to commercialization. The ability for a company tomake intricate parts without the need for complicated re-tooling has revolutionizedmany industries, including automotive, aerospace, consumer goods, and more. Butthis new capability brought with it, its own set of challenges. And these challengesspecifically relate to quality and reliability.Quantum Analytics has a unique portfolio of sophisticated analytical instrumentationdesigned to tackle quality control issues head on. We offer everything from highspeed X-ray Microscopy (XRM) solutions for morphometry, CAD comparison, and partsinspection to combustion analysis for light element analysis on metal powders andpost-printed parts.These instruments are designed to deliver results that give you better control overyour processes and ensure finished parts quality.QUANTUM ANALYTICS2
ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING QUALITY CONTROL WITH ELEMENTAL ANALYSISBROCHUREElemental CompositionThe Bruker S6 JAGUAR wavelength dispersive X-rayfluorescence (WD-XRF) is the most versatile benchtoptool available for advanced elemental analysis in bothindustry production and research. This high-performancespectrometer can analyze almost the entire periodic tablefor solids and powders.Elements of interest: Ti, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Nb, Mo, WTraces, down to ppm: Si, P, S, Cl, Ta, PbBRUKER S6 JAGUAR WDXRFLight Element AnalysisMonitor the oxygen, nitrogen and hydrogen concentrationssimultaneously in metal powders in order to ensure 3Dprinted parts of the highest quality. The Inductar ONHCube from Elementar provides reliable detection of O, N,H from trace levels to high concentrations. The Inductar CSCube from Elementar is the ideal instrument for rapid andprecise carbon (C) and sulfur (S) analysis in solids, especiallywith metals and other inorganic materials.ELEMENTAR INDUCTAR ONH CUBECrystalline PhasesThe respective crystalline phase composition and structureis of upmost importance when it comes to product qualityand process control. Applications range from the validationof precursor feedstock of metal powders and binders tothe quantification of injection molding mixtures. Issueswith dimensional stability are not only the consequence ofmacroscopic issues, but may also be due to an improperphase composition and structure. The Bruker D2 PHASERbenchtop X-ray Diffractometer (XRD) with LYNXEYE XE-TBRUKER D2 PHASER XRDprovides comprehensive phase identification, quantificationand microstructural characterization.QUANTUM ANALYTICS3

Additive manufacturing (AM) is the process of building objects by creating successive layers of a material. It includes the processes of 3D printing, rapid prototyping, freeform fabrication, and more. Additive manufacturing creates objects by adding material layer-by-layer until completion. Think of how a house of bricks is built—additive .
Additive Manufacturing Standards Development Structure. ISO and ASTM International published the jointly crafted Additive Manufacturing Standards Development Structure, a framework to help meet the needs for new technical standards in this fast-growing field. The structure was approved by the organizations' additive groups in July 2016.
