Abstract:
An additive manufacturing system includes a cabinet, an electron beam system, at least one imaging device, and a computing device. The cabinet is configured to enclose a component and defines a pinhole extending therethrough. The electron beam system is configured to generate an electron beam directed toward the component. Interactions between the component and the electron beam generate x-ray radiation. The at least one imaging device is configured to detect the x-ray radiation through the pinhole. The computing device is configured to image the component based on the x-ray radiation detected by the at least one imaging device.

Claim (Index 16):
A method of monitoring a component manufactured in an additive manufacturing system, said method comprising:\n directing an electron beam towards a build layer of the component positioned within a powder bed of the additive manufacturing system; detecting by at least one detector the x-ray radiation generated by interactions between the component and the electron beam; and determining at least one of a size and a depth of at least one of an air pocket defined within the component, a void defined within the component, and a crack defined within the component.
