Abstract:
A system for non-destructively evaluating components fabricated by additive manufacturing processes that includes a sensor array embedded within an electromagnetic field concentrating material or matrix, and that includes a plurality of individual elements arranged in a predetermined pattern for allowing substantially uniform coverage of an area of an electrically conductive component to be evaluated; wherein each element in the plurality of elements further includes at least one coil that acts as an exciter coil for generating an alternating electromagnetic field when activated, or a receiver coil for measuring a change in impedance of the at least one coil, or as both an exciter coil and a receiver coil; wherein the alternating electromagnetic field induces eddy currents in the component to be evaluated; and wherein the individual elements in the sensor array are excited in a predetermined sequence during a single pass of the sensor array over the area of a component to be evaluated.

Claim (Index 13):
The system of  claim 7 , further including a reference surface positioned within an additive manufacturing device away from the component being evaluated by the sensor array for compensating for temperature effects and drifts occurring during additive manufacturing builds of long duration.
