Technology & Products
Key Products
Smart Optical Monitoring System (SOMS); Smart Additive Manufacturing System (SAMS)
Technological Advantage
Proprietary SOMS technology uses emission spectroscopy and unsupervised deep learning for quality monitoring, protected by patents (US9981341B2 for Smart Additive Manufacturing System). The advantage lies in the combination of real-time sensing and feedback, which is hard to replicate without significant expertise in laser-material interaction.
Differentiation
Value Proposition
Provides in-situ optical monitoring and feedback to detect weld and material deposition problems in real-time, reducing defects and improving quality control in metal additive manufacturing and welding.
How They Differentiate
SenSigma's SOMS uses optical emission spectroscopy with high resolution (0.05 nm) and unsupervised deep learning, enabling real-time defect detection that is more accurate than conventional thermal monitoring. It is adaptable to both welding and additive manufacturing.
